rohitg00 The user wants an overview of recent sessions on this project.
Quick start
memory_sessions { "limit": 20 }
Expected output:
7f3a9c2 · app · 2026-06-07 09:00 · completed · 14 obs
- decision: Rotate refresh tokens on every use
b21d004 · app · 2026-06-05 14:00 · completed · 9 obs
- code: limit.ts counts per-IP
Why
Only show sessions and observations the tool returned. An empty history is a real answer, never a cue to invent past work.
Workflow
- Call
memory_sessionswithlimit: 20for a meaningful window. - Present in reverse chronological order: session id (first 8), project, start time, status.
- For sessions with observations, show the key highlights (type plus title).
- Note the total observation count per session.
- When a session summary exists, surface its title and the key decisions.
Anti-patterns
WRONG: the tool returns two sessions, you describe "several sessions of steady progress" and add ones you remember from the conversation.
RIGHT: show exactly the two sessions returned, each with its real id, status, and observation count.
Checklist
- Every session shown came from the tool response.
- Order is reverse-chronological.
- Per-session observation counts match the response.
- No session or highlight was invented or merged.
