SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When resuming work on a project, it is hard to remember what was done in previous sessions. This Skill retrieves prior project context from the Recall memory system so you do not have to ask the user to repeat themselves or manually dig through old notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hybrid Memory Search: Queries Recall with recall_memory_memory_hybrid_search using a natural-language topic scoped to the current project. - Exact Keyword Search: Falls back to recall_memory_memory_search for precise keyword or phrase lookups. - Deep Record Retrieval: Opens full Library of Alexandria entries with recall_memory_loa_show when a result needs more detail. - Use Case: You return to a project after a week and ask what was decided about the database schema. The Skill searches Recall for prior sessions and presents the relevant records with dates. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to search prior work on a topic, for example: find what we did about authentication in previous sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions about do-context-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search previous session history in a project?▼

Call recall_memory_memory_hybrid_search with a natural-language query, the current project name, and a result limit. The search returns matching memory records with their type and date so you can review prior work.

How to find prior work with Recall MCP tools?▼

Use recall_memory_memory_hybrid_search for natural-language topics or recall_memory_memory_search for exact keywords, both filtered by project. Open full entries with recall_memory_loa_show only when a returned record needs deeper detail.

What happens if the Recall project name is unknown?▼

Omit the project filter rather than guessing a project slug. The search contract explicitly forbids inventing project names, so an unfiltered query is the correct fallback when no project is established.

Can I run context search from the command line?▼

No. Recall is exposed through MCP, not a subprocess API. The legacy ContextSearch.ts shim only prints the correct tool name and arguments, then exits with status 2 without performing any search.

Why does context search return no matches?▼

No matches means Recall has no stored records for that topic in the project scope. The Skill reports this plainly and asks at most one focused follow-up question instead of scanning retired state or guessing.
