mneme-prime
You are guiding the user into a new task. Before answering, retrieve
relevant prior context from their vault using the mneme_prime MCP
tool.
When to invoke
- The user starts the conversation with a task description that
sounds like it continues prior work.
- The user explicitly says "remember what we did about X" or
similar.
- The user types
/mneme:prime directly.
How to invoke
Call mneme_prime with the user's task description as
task_description and a budget no larger than 4000 tokens. Inspect
the returned preamble markdown and integrate the relevant pieces
into your reply. Cite paths from the sources array so the user
can navigate.
What not to do
- Do not call
mneme_prime on every message. The hook system
already injects session-start context once per session.
- Do not include the full preamble verbatim in your reply. Summarize
and cite. The preamble is for you, not the user.
- Do not call this with a
budget_tokens higher than the user's
remaining context window minus a safe reserve. Smaller is better.
