Hindsight Recall
Trigger
Use when the user explicitly asks about past decisions, project context, preferences, or anything that may have been discussed in prior sessions.
Workflow
- Identify the key topic or question from the user's request.
- Check if
<hindsight_memories> in the current context already contains relevant results from the automatic session-start recall.
- If session memory already covered it, use those memories directly.
- If the user needs more specific or deeper recall, use the Hindsight MCP
recall tool to search for additional memories.
- If you want to reason over accumulated memories for architectural decisions, use the
reflect tool.
Guardrails
- Only use MCP tools for deeper recall when the session-start memory was insufficient.
- When memories conflict with current context, prefer current context and note the discrepancy.
- Do not expose raw memory metadata to the user unless asked.
Output
- Relevant memories integrated into the response
- If MCP tools are not available, advise the user to check their
.cursor/mcp.json configuration
