recall

Recall past work on a specific project or topic.

Steps

1. Identify the target. The user's argument is a project name, path, or topic. If it looks like a path, use it directly. If it's a name, search for it.

2. Search sessions. Call search_sessions with:

   • query: the topic/keyword if searching by content
   • project: the path if filtering by project directory
   • limit: 20

3. Get context for top results. For the most relevant sessions (up to 5), call get_session_messages with:

   • filePath: from the search results
   • limit: 20

4. Summarize the history. Write a chronological summary:

   Sessions on {project/topic}

   For each relevant session:

   • {date} ({tool}) — What was worked on, key decisions made, outcome

   Overall arc: How the work evolved across sessions.

Guidelines

• Order chronologically (oldest first) to show the arc of work.
• If the user gives a vague name, try both search_sessions (keyword search) and get_activity_digest (project path filter) to find matches.
• Focus on decisions and outcomes, not implementation details.
• If there are many sessions, group by phase or milestone rather than listing each one.
