# Whats Up

> Fetch recent activity from Autographical — what the user and their AI agents have been working on. Use when starting a session, when the user mentions recent activity, when the user alludes to what they were doing or looking at, or picking up where they left off. Also use when the conversation feels like a topic change or you could use more background context on the ask.

# What's Up

Fetch recent activity from Autographical and present what's been happening. The activity stream includes everything the user has been doing — browsing, reading, saving, researching — as well as activity from AI sessions the user has been collaborating with. It's the full picture of human + AI work.

## Data

1. Call the `recent_activity` MCP tool to fetch recent sessions and top resources.

2. If the user provided arguments via `$ARGUMENTS`, also call the `search` MCP tool with those arguments to narrow focus.

3. If a session or resource looks particularly relevant, use `get_session` or `get_resource` to get more detail.

## Synthesis

Lead with what you find interesting or notable. You have full latitude in how you read and present the data — don't follow a rigid template. Some things to surface:

- Active threads and topics — what has the user been engaged with, and what have their AI collaborators been working on?
- Momentum — where is attention concentrated? What's in-progress?
- Recency and intensity — what's hot right now vs background threads?

Keep it concise. A few sentences per thread, not an exhaustive list of URLs. The goal is to transfer context to you so the session can build from shared awareness.
