Remembering Conversations

Core principle: Search before reinventing. Searching costs nothing; reinventing or repeating mistakes costs everything.

Mandatory: Use the Search Agent

YOU MUST dispatch the search-conversations agent for any historical search.

Announce: "Dispatching search agent to find [topic]."

Then use the Task tool with subagent_type: "search-conversations":

Task tool:
  description: "Search past conversations for [topic]"
  prompt: "Search for [specific query or topic]. Focus on [what you're looking for - e.g., decisions, patterns, gotchas, code examples]."
  subagent_type: "search-conversations"

The agent will:

Search with the search tool
Read top 2-5 results with the show tool
Synthesize findings (200-1000 words)
Return actionable insights + sources

Saves 50-100x context vs. loading raw conversations.

When to Use

Search proactively:

Before implementing features
Before making architectural decisions
When debugging (especially familiar-seeming issues)
When partner mentions past work
At the start of ANY non-trivial task

Don't search:

For info in current conversation
For current codebase structure (use Grep/Read)

Direct Tool Access (Discouraged)

You CAN use MCP tools directly, but DON'T:

mcp__plugin_episodic-memory_episodic-memory__search
mcp__plugin_episodic-memory_episodic-memory__show

Using these directly wastes your context window. Always dispatch the agent instead.

See MCP-TOOLS.md for complete API reference if needed for advanced usage.
