docs: recommend nmem CLI for graph/relationship queries - #5
Merged
Conversation
The bundled commands cover the common per-turn loop; the nmem CLI can do a lot more, including graph and relationship queries not exposed in the default MCP tool set (see the community repo's nowledge-mem-claude-code-plugin PR for the same note applied across plugins).

Same note as the earlier Claude Code plugin commit, applied to every other plugin covering a client on the EXTERNAL_MCP_SURFACE.md recognized-host list (Codex, Codex prompts, Kimi Code, Cursor, CodeBuddy, Copilot CLI, OpenCode) -- they all share the same bounded default MCP tool set, so the same "no graph queries in the default set" gap and the same nmem CLI escape hatch applies to each. Also reorders the recommendation: MCP tools first for the per-turn loop, nmem CLI for anything beyond that -- not "prefer nmem over MCP" in general, which the first wording could be misread as. nowledge-mem-gemini-cli already had a "Direct nmem Use Is Always Allowed" section; extended it in place (commits d2984d4, a838134 on nowledge-co/nowledge-mem-gemini-cli#5) rather than adding a duplicate section, and bumped this submodule's pointer to pick it up.

Extends the existing "Direct
nmemUse Is Always Allowed" section with an explicit recommendation to reach fornmemdirectly for graph/relationship queries (nmem graph expand,nmem graph evolves), which aren't in the default per-turn MCP tool set. Companion to the same note added across other plugins in nowledge-co/community.
