 - Data: `memory/brain-dump.json`
 - `--due` filters by nudge interval: now=1d, soon=3d, someday=7d
 - `nudged` marks tasks as just-nudged (resets due timer)
-- `recurring` lists recurring reminders (nose shower etc.)
+- `recurring` lists all recurring items with full context (note, when, frequency)
+- `add --recurring` / `edit` / `done` work for both tasks and recurring items
 - Output is tab-separated for minimal tokens
