recall

name	recall
description	Retrieves and presents relevant memories from the database for the current project context. Queries the memories table and returns a synthesized summary. Use via /recall at the start of a session or when context is needed.

Recall - Memory Retrieval

Purpose

Retrieve relevant memories from the memories table for the current project context, synthesize them, and present the result as useful context.

Trigger

• Manual: user invokes /recall
• Can also be invoked programmatically when context is needed

Data Storage Rules

• NEVER read from local ~/.claude/memory/ files — all memory is in the database
• Use ToolSearch to discover Supabase MCP tools, then query the memories table
• Present results as synthesized context, not raw database rows

Execution

1. Determine Project Name

git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's|.*/||;s|\.git$||' || basename "$PWD"

Normalize to lowercase with hyphens.

2. Check Memories Exist

Query the memories table:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM memories WHERE deprecated = false

If no memories exist:

• Inform the user: "No memories found. Run /memory-init to set up project memory."
• Exit

3. Dispatch Memory Retriever

Launch the memory-retriever agent:

Use the Task tool with subagent_type "general-purpose" to run the memory-retriever agent.
Provide the project_name and any optional query context.

The agent will:

• Query project-specific memories (category = 'project' AND subcategory = '<project_name>')
• Query preferences (category = 'preference')
• Query decisions (category = 'decision')
• Query relevant knowledge (category = 'knowledge')
• Filter out deprecated and low-confidence entries
• Return a synthesized markdown summary

4. Present Results

Output the synthesized summary from the retriever agent. The format should be:

## Recalled Context: <project_name>

<synthesized content from memory-retriever>

If no relevant memories found:

No memories found for project "<project_name>".
Run /memory-init to set up project memory, or /rem-sleep after working to start building context.

Behavior Notes

• Results are presented as context, not as commands or instructions
• The recall output helps Claude understand the project without re-discovering everything
• Keep output focused and relevant — don't dump everything, synthesize
• If the user asks a specific question, the optional query parameter helps focus retrieval
