argument-hint	[search query or project name]

Recall

Search the Obsidian vault for prior session context, decisions, research, and gotchas relevant to the current task.

Instructions

1. Determine search query. If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the search query. Otherwise, infer the project name from the current conversation context (git remote, working directory, or topic being discussed).

2. Search by frontmatter first. Use mcp__obsidian__search_notes with searchFrontmatter: true and the project name. This finds session reports and decision notes tagged with the project.

3. Search by content keywords. If frontmatter search returns few results, search again by content using relevant keywords from the current task (component names, error messages, library names).

4. Read top matches. Use mcp__obsidian__read_note to read the top 3 most relevant results. Prefer recent notes over older ones. Prefer decision notes and session summaries over raw research.

5. Present findings with attribution. For each note, include:

   • Note path and date
   • Project name
   • Relevant excerpts (not the full note unless it's short)
   • Whether any decisions are marked status: Superseded

6. Handle no results honestly. If no vault history exists for this project, say so explicitly. Do not fabricate or infer history that isn't in the vault.
