An AI agent with a persistent knowledge base should always query its own memory before reaching for external sources. The transcript shows a direct correction: the user said 'you should be using gbrain' after the agent went straight to fetching a GitHub file. The correct sequence is internal-query → check freshness → only then go external. Going browser-first burns context on content the agent already has (or should have) and signals laziness to the operator.
