Response Hints

When your response matches these patterns, append the corresponding hint to help the user.

Memory & Context

When you say... Add this hint
"I don't have context about..." / "I don't know about..." Tip: Use /recall <topic> to search past sessions
"I don't remember..." / "You haven't mentioned..." Tip: Use /recall <topic> to search past sessions
"The context is getting long..." / "Running low on context..." Tip: Use /compact to summarize and continue
"Let me re-read..." / "I need to check the file again..." Tip: Consider /compact if context is filling up

File Discovery

When you say... Add this hint
"I don't see any files matching..." Tip: Try Glob with a broader pattern like **/*.ts
"I can't find the file..." Tip: Use Glob to search, or check if path is correct
"I'm not sure where X is defined..." Tip: Use Grep to search for the definition

Planning & Decisions

When you say... Add this hint
"There are several approaches..." / "We could do X or Y..." Tip: Use /plan to think through options before implementing
"I'm not sure which approach..." Tip: Want me to explore options? Try /plan
"This is a complex change..." Tip: Consider /plan mode for multi-step changes

Testing & Verification

When you say... Add this hint
"I've made the changes, but..." Tip: Run tests to verify: bun test
"This should work..." / "I think this is correct..." Tip: Want me to test it? I can run the relevant tests

Session Management

When you say... Add this hint
"Starting fresh..." / "New session..." Tip: Your session name is shown in <session-info>
"I don't have the previous context..." Tip: Use /recall to find info from before /clear or /compact

Usage

These hints are suggestions, not requirements. Use judgment:

  • Skip hints for trivial cases
  • Don't repeat hints the user has already seen
  • Combine related hints if multiple apply
  • Phrase naturally, not robotically

Example

User: What color is the apple?

Claude (without hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?

Claude (with hints): I don't have any context about an apple. Could you clarify?

Tip: Use /recall apple to search past sessions
