Recall

Recall

Recommended model tier: balanced (sonnet) - this skill performs straightforward operations

Search stored memories and decisions to answer questions about past learnings, architectural choices, patterns, and project context.

MCP Tools

Search Memories

Get Decisions

Workflow

1. Parse the question - Extract key terms
2. Search both sources:
   • Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__memory_search with relevant keywords
   • Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_get with the topic, or mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_list
3. Analyze timestamps - Prefer most recent (ULIDs are time-ordered)
4. Answer - Combine relevant context from both sources

Instructions

When the user asks about previous context:

1. For architectural/design questions (testing, auth, database, etc.):

   • Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_get with topic (e.g., "testing")
   • If unsure of topic name, use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_list

2. For learnings/patterns/gotchas:

   • Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__memory_search with query (e.g., "ESM imports")

3. When answering:

   • Cite the source (memory or decision)
   • Include the date for context
   • Note if something was updated/changed

Examples

User: "What testing framework did we decide on?" → Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_get with topic="testing" → Answer with the decision and rationale

User: "What was the issue with ESM imports?" → Use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__memory_search with query="ESM imports" → Answer with the learning

User: "What approach did we take for auth?" → Use both mcp__plugin_aide_aide__decision_get (topic="auth") and mcp__plugin_aide_aide__memory_search (query="auth") → Combine both sources in answer

Failure Handling

If no results found:

1. Try alternative terms - search with synonyms or related keywords
2. Broaden the search - use mcp__plugin_aide_aide__memory_list to browse all memories
3. Report clearly: "No memories or decisions found for ''. This may not have been recorded previously."

Notes

• This skill is READ-ONLY - searches but doesn't modify
• Decisions are structured (topic → decision + rationale)
• Memories are freeform learnings, gotchas, patterns
• Always prefer the most recent when there are conflicts
