# Recall

Reconstruct state without treating old summaries as current truth.

1. Use the current conversation and repository first. Inspect status, recent commits, plans, handoffs, and task-relevant source.
2. Use Codex task or memory tools only when available and relevant. Resolve the exact task before reading it. Never scan unrelated task histories or guessed transcript paths.
3. Build a short timeline of decisions, completed work, open work, and verification evidence.
4. Verify drift-prone claims against the current repository or external system when the check is cheap and authorized.
5. Return the present objective, current state, next concrete step, open decisions, and evidence boundaries.

Label facts taken from older records when they were not refreshed. Do not mutate the repository or continue the old task unless the user asked to resume work.
