Remembering Conversations
Search archived conversations using semantic similarity or exact text matching.
Core principle: Search before reinventing.
Announce: "I'm searching previous conversations for [topic]."
Setup: See INDEXING.md
When to Use
Search when:
- Your human partner mentions "we discussed this before"
- Debugging similar issues
- Looking for architectural decisions or patterns
- Before implementing something familiar
Don't search when:
- Info in current conversation
- Question about current codebase (use Grep/Read)
In-Session Use
Always use subagents (50-100x context savings). See skills/using-skills for workflow.
Manual/CLI use: Direct search (below) for humans outside Claude Code sessions.
