Recall

When To Use

Call recall at session start, after compaction, or when you need prior work, decisions, or cross-project context.

mcp__goldfish__recall({})

Common Cases

  • New session: recall()
  • Recent work only: recall({ since: "2h" })
  • Wider history: recall({ days: 7, limit: 20 })
  • Search: recall({ search: "auth refactor", full: true })
  • Cross-project scan: recall({ workspace: "all", days: 1 })
  • Brief only: recall({ limit: 0 })

Read The Result Correctly

Recall can surface:

  • Active brief, which is the current strategic direction
  • Checkpoints, which are the evidence trail
  • Workspace summaries for cross-project recall

Treat the active brief as direction, not as an execution checklist. If you need implementation detail, read docs/plans/.

After Recall

  • Summarize the active brief or recent checkpoint thread when it exists.
  • Continue from the recalled context instead of re-deriving it.
