- Show what happened in recent past sessions on this project as a clean timeline. Use when the user asks "what did we do last time", "session history", "past sessions", or wants an overview of previous work.
- user-invocable
- true
The user wants an overview of recent sessions on this project.
## Quick start
```json
memory_sessions { "project": "<current-project-id>", "limit": 20 }
```
Expected output:
```text
7f3a9c2 · app · 2026-06-07 09:00 · completed · 14 obs
- decision: Rotate refresh tokens on every use
b21d004 · app · 2026-06-05 14:00 · completed · 9 obs
- code: limit.ts counts per-IP
```
## Why
Only show sessions and observations the tool returned. An empty history is a
real answer, never a cue to invent past work.
## Workflow
1. Use the exact project identifier recorded by the host and pass it to
`memory_sessions`, with `agentId` when requested. If it is unknown, page
through sessions using `nextCursor` and match normalized `cwd` by directory
boundary before choosing the most recent 20. Never substitute another project.
2. Preserve scope filters on every page; stop at the requested count or a null
`nextCursor`. State when the displayed history is a partial page. Present in
reverse chronological order: session id (first 8), project, start
time, status.
3. For sessions with observations, show the key highlights (type plus title).
4. Note the total observation count per session.
5. When a session summary exists, surface its title and the key decisions.
## Anti-patterns
WRONG: the tool returns two sessions, you describe "several sessions of steady
progress" and add ones you remember from the conversation.
RIGHT: show exactly the two sessions returned, each with its real id, status, and
observation count.
## Checklist
- Every session shown came from the tool response.
- Project/directory scope was checked before selecting the displayed window.
- Order is reverse-chronological.
- Per-session observation counts match the response.
- No session or highlight was invented or merged.
## See also
- `recap`: same data grouped by date with highlights.
- `handoff`: jump straight into the most recent session.
- `recall`: search across all sessions by topic.
## Troubleshooting
See [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) if `memory_sessions` is not available.
