The user wants commit context for: $ARGUMENTS ## Quick start ```bash git blame -L 40,52 src/auth/refresh.ts # -> SHA 9a1b2c3d ``` ```json memory_commit_lookup { "sha": "9a1b2c3d4e5f60718293a4b5c6d7e8f901234567" } ``` Expected output: ```text 9a1b2c3 on main by dev: "rotate refresh tokens" Linked session 7f3a9c2 "Auth refresh rework", 14 obs. ``` ## Why Report only what git and the lookup return. When the lookup gives `commit: null`, the commit predates session linking; do not invent intent. ## Workflow 1. Find the SHA: `git blame -L <start>,<end> <file>` for a line range; `git log -L :<function>:<file>` for a function; `git log -n 1 -- <file>` for a bare path. 2. Look it up: `memory_commit_lookup { "sha": "<full-sha>" }`. 3. Present the commit (sha, short sha, branch, author, message), the linked session(s) (id, project, started/ended, observation count, summary), and the importance >= 7 observations via `memory_recall` when available. ## Anti-patterns WRONG: lookup returns `{ "commit": null }`, you narrate "the agent was refactoring auth" from the diff alone. RIGHT: "This commit predates session linking, so there is no recorded agent session. From `git show`: it changed token rotation in refresh.ts." ## Checklist - SHA came from git blame/log, not a guess. - `commit: null` reported as "predates linking", no fabricated session. - Session details quote the lookup response verbatim. - No intent claimed beyond what observations state. ## See also - `commit-history`: list many agent-linked commits at once. - `recall`: dig deeper into the linked session's observations. ## Troubleshooting See [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) if `memory_commit_lookup` is not available.
