Search long-term memory for relevant context from past coding sessions using Hindsight MCP tools
# 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 1. Identify the key topic or question from the user's request. 2. Check if `<hindsight_memories>` in the current context already contains relevant results from the automatic session-start recall. 3. If session memory already covered it, use those memories directly. 4. If the user needs more specific or deeper recall, use the Hindsight MCP `recall` tool to search for additional memories. 5. 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
