+# CLAUDE.md Memory Protocol: MCP-First Update
+
+Updated `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` Memory Protocol section.
+
+## Removed
+- References to CORE.md auto-loading
+- REFLECTION.md session-start reading instruction
+
+## Added
+- Explicit instruction to use MCP `memory_recall` before starting unfamiliar work
+- MCP `memory_store` for persistence
+- Data path updated to `~/.local/share/cognitive-memory/`
+- CLI commands (`core`, `reflect`) noted as available for manual browsing
+
+## Intent
+Shift from passive token injection at session start to active on-demand retrieval via MCP.
