recall

name	recall
description	Search persistent memory for relevant notes from past sessions — prior decisions, conventions, gotchas, and how similar work was handled. Recall is cheap and fail-open, so call it rather than guess: before starting a task, editing a file, fixing a failing test, or choosing an approach — and whenever the user refers back ("what did we decide about X", "how did we do Z").

Recall from persistent memory

Retrieve relevant memories before you act, whenever past work could bear on the task. (The tool is exposed by the memory plugin's MCP server; the exact tool id is harness-specific.)

Default to recalling. It's fast and fail-open — a miss costs nothing, a skipped hit means repeating a mistake or contradicting an earlier decision. Recall at the start of a task and at each decision point: opening a file, diagnosing a failing test, picking an approach, hitting something unfamiliar — not only when asked.

• Call recall(query, k) with a focused natural-language query. k defaults to 5; raise it for broader context.
• Hits return ranked (best first), each with id, content, score, tokens.
• Fold relevant hits into your reasoning; cite what you used. Empty result? Just proceed.

Recall-only: saving happens in the background (the Daydreamer watches the session), so there's no remember tool.
