Memory Recall

• Shared examples and formatting reference: references/EXAMPLE.md.
• Keep new guidance, snippets, and edits aligned with that file.

Scope

Use this rule when:

• the user asks about prior sessions, earlier decisions, or past debugging context
• the task mentions memory, previous work, rollout summaries, or historical rationale
• injected context says memory may be available
• current code evidence is not enough because the question is historical

Do not use memory recall for purely current-code tasks.

Search Strategy

• Start with three to five targeted queries.
• Use names, project IDs, error messages, file paths, decisions, and date hints when available.
• Expand only the most relevant results.
• Prefer original transcripts or rollout summaries over vague memory snippets when precision matters.
• Use current repository evidence over memory when they conflict.

Memory is supporting context, not current-state proof.

Fallback Paths

When search tooling is blocked or too vague, inspect memory files directly:

• recent daily logs under ${MEMSEARCH_DIR:-$HOME/.memsearch}/memory/
• rollout summaries under .codex/memories/rollout_summaries/ when present
• original session JSONL only when a memory anchor points there and detail is needed

Use fs-mcp first for local file reads and searches.

Output Rules

• Lead with the recalled fact or decision.
• Include source file/date or anchor for traceability.
• Separate recalled fact from current inference.
• State when memory is weak, stale, or contradicted by current evidence.
• Do not expose secrets, credentials, raw auth data, or private unrelated chat content.

Keep memory summaries short and relevant.

Boundaries

• Do not persist new memory from volatile or speculative claims.
• Do not treat memory as proof of current code behavior.
• Do not deep-drill into transcripts when a summary already answers the question.
• Do not use memory when the user explicitly asks to ignore it.
• Do not reveal unrelated historical context just because it was found.
