guidance-recall

name

guidance-recall

description

Read guidance compiled by context-manager for the current repository. Use when the user's question depends on prior repo-specific decisions, workflows, conventions, or previously compiled high-level guidance. Start from `guidance/index.md`, then drill into one relevant category index and 1-2 relevant guidance pages. Only follow linked `working-memory/*.md#anchor` sections when the guidance page is insufficient. Skip when the answer depends only on current code state or the user explicitly asked to ignore historical guidance.

You are retrieving project guidance from context-manager outputs.

Goal

Read the smallest amount of compiled guidance needed for the current question.

Steps

1. Check whether guidance/index.md exists in the current repository. If it does not exist, stop and say no compiled guidance is available yet.
2. Read guidance/index.md and choose the single most relevant category.
3. Read that category index, typically one of:
   • guidance/decisions/index.md
   • guidance/workflows/index.md
   • guidance/conventions/index.md
4. Read only 1-2 relevant guidance pages from that category.
5. If those pages link to working-memory/*.md#anchor and the high-level guidance is still insufficient, read only the linked anchor section.
6. Return a concise summary of the relevant guidance and cite the files you used.

Rules

• Prefer guidance/ over raw working-memory/.
• Do not bulk-read every guidance page or every working-memory file.
• Treat category indexes as navigation, not as the final answer.
• If a category index or top index only says No guidance pages here yet., say compiled guidance is not ready rather than inventing detail.
• If the question is purely about current code behavior, inspect the code instead of using this skill.

Output

Organize the result by the guidance that matters right now.

• State the key decision, workflow, or convention.
• Include source references for traceability.
• If nothing relevant exists, say No relevant compiled guidance found.
