## If Memory Search Fails

If `memory_search()` returns an error about API keys:
1. **DON'T PANIC**
2. Read the files manually (above)
3. The knowledge is in the files, not the vector DB

## Before Creating ANY Project

1. Check TOOLS.md for existing projects
2. Choose correct folder (Web/iOS/Documents)
3. Create in `/Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/`
4. Update TOOLS.md immediately

## Daily Log Location

Write significant events to:
`/Users/mattbruce/.openclaw/workspace/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
