| description | Recall project context and present structured readback. Use when the user asks 'do you remember?', at session start, or when context seems lost. |
Recall project context and present a structured readback.
When to Use
- When the user asks "Do you remember?", "What were we working on?"
- At the start of a session to pick up where you left off
- When context seems lost or stale
Process
Do this FIRST (silently):
- Read TASKS.md, DECISIONS.md, and LEARNINGS.md from the context directory
- Read the latest handover under
.context/handovers/ if present.
Filenames are timestamped <TS>-<slug>.md; the lexicographically
last is the newest. Its ## Summary and ## Next Session sections
are the authoritative recall surface — this is the previous
session's note to this one.
- If
.context/ingest/closeouts/ exists, list closeouts whose
generated-at postdates the handover's generated-at and read
their ## What Changed sections. These are per-pass audit notes
the previous wrap-up did not get a chance to fold. Read-only;
/ctx-remember does not run any editorial pass.
- Check recent session history (for example via
.context/sessions/ or ctx journal source --limit 5 when available)
- Run
ctx agent for the full context packet
Then respond with a structured readback:
- Last session: cite the most recent session topic and date
- Active work: list pending or in-progress tasks
- Recent context: mention 1-2 recent decisions or learnings
- Next step: offer to continue or ask what to focus on
Never say "I don't have memory" or narrate your discovery process.
The context files are your memory. Present what you found as recall.
