Recall Past Work
Search through previous sessions to find relevant decisions, approaches that worked, and approaches that failed. Queries two sources:
- Artifact Index - Handoffs, plans, ledgers with post-mortems (what worked/failed)
- Reasoning Files - Build attempts, test failures, commit context
When to Use
- Starting work similar to past sessions
- "What did we do last time with X?"
- Looking for patterns that worked before
- Investigating why something was done a certain way
- Debugging an issue encountered previously
Usage
Primary: Artifact Index (rich context)
uv run python scripts/core/artifact_query.py "<query>" [--outcome SUCCEEDED|FAILED] [--limit N]
This searches handoffs with post-mortems (what worked, what failed, key decisions).
Secondary: Reasoning Files (build attempts)
bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/search-reasoning.sh" "<query>"
This searches .git/claude/commits/*/reasoning.md for build failures and fixes.
Examples
# Search for authentication-related work
uv run python scripts/core/artifact_query.py "authentication OAuth JWT"
# Find only successful approaches
uv run python scripts/core/artifact_query.py "implement agent" --outcome SUCCEEDED
# Find what failed (to avoid repeating mistakes)
uv run python scripts/core/artifact_query.py "hook implementation" --outcome FAILED
# Search build/test reasoning
bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/scripts/search-reasoning.sh" "TypeError"
What Gets Searched
Artifact Index (handoffs, plans, ledgers):
- Task summaries and status
- What worked - Successful approaches
- What failed - Dead ends and why
- Key decisions - Choices with rationale
- Goal and constraints from ledgers
Reasoning Files (.git/claude/):
- Failed build attempts and error output
- Successful builds after failures
- Commit context and branch info
Interpreting Results
From Artifact Index:
✓= SUCCEEDED outcome (pattern to follow)✗= FAILED outcome (pattern to avoid)?= UNKNOWN outcome (not yet marked)- Post-mortem sections show distilled learnings
From Reasoning:
build_fail= approach that didn't workbuild_pass= what finally succeeded- Multiple failures before success = non-trivial problem
Process
- Run Artifact Index query first - richer context, post-mortems
- Review relevant handoffs - check what worked/failed sections
- If needed, search reasoning - for specific build errors
- Apply learnings - follow successful patterns, avoid failed ones
No Results?
Artifact Index empty:
- Run
uv run python scripts/core/artifact_index.py --allto index existing handoffs - Create handoffs with post-mortem sections for future recall
Reasoning files empty:
- Use
/commitafter builds to capture reasoning - Check if
.git/claude/directory exists
