remembering-conversations
Use when user asks 'how should I...' or 'what's the best approach...' after exploring code, OR when you've tried to solve something and are stuck, OR for unfamiliar workflows, OR when user references past work. Searches conversation history.
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured approach to leveraging historical conversation data for decision-making and problem-solving, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
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 subagenttype: "search-conversations": The agent will: 1. Search with the search tool 2. Read top 2-5 results with the show tool 3. Synthesize findings (200-1000 words) 4. Return actionable insights + sources Saves 50-100x context vs. loading raw conversations. When to Use You often get value out of consulting your episodic memory once you understand what you're being asked. Search memory in these situations: After understanding the task: User asks "how should I..." or "what's the best approach..." You've explored current codebase and need to make architectural decisions User asks for implementation approach after describing what they want When you're stuck: You've investigated a problem and can't find the solution Facing a complex problem without obvious solution in current code Need to follow an unfamiliar workflow or process When historical signals are present: User says "last time", "before", "we discussed", "you implemented" User asks "why did we...", "what was the reason..." User says "do you remember...", "what do we know about..." Don't search first: For current codebase structure (use Grep/Read to explore first) For info in current conversation Before understanding what you're being asked to do Direct Tool Access (Discouraged) You CAN use MCP tools directly, but DON'T: mcppluginepisodic-memoryepisodic-memorysearch mcppluginepisodic-memoryepisodic-memoryshow 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.
