Recall
Search stored memories using keyword/concept matching.
Workflow
-
Parse the search query from $ARGUMENTS
- If no arguments provided, ask what to search for
-
Determine search strategy:
- Content search: Grep for query in memory file content
- Concept search: Grep for query in frontmatter concepts
- Type filter: Optionally narrow to specific memory type folder
-
Execute searches in
<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory:# Content search Grep pattern="$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md" # Concept search (frontmatter) Grep pattern="concepts:.*$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md" # Type-filtered (if specified) Grep pattern="$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory/Strategic" glob="*.md" -
Read the matching files (up to limit, default 10)
-
Sort by importance if multiple results
-
Present findings:
- "Found X memories about [topic]..."
- Summarize top 2-3 findings
- Note memory types and importance
- Mention if more results available
Search Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Query | required | Search terms |
| Limit | 10 | Max results to read |
| Type | all | Filter: episodic/semantic/procedural/strategic |
Search Patterns
# General content search
Grep pattern="metatron" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
# Concept frontmatter search
Grep pattern="concepts:.*interview" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
# Type-filtered search
Grep pattern="deploy" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory/Procedural" glob="*.md"
# High importance only
Grep pattern="importance: 0\\.[89]" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
# Recent memories (Glob sorts by mtime)
Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Memory/**/*.md" path="<vault>"
Examples
User: /recall hexis integration
-> Search content and concepts for "hexis" and "integration"
-> Present matching memories with type and importance
User: /recall deployment procedural
-> Search in Areas/AI/Memory/Procedural/ for "deployment"
-> Focus on how-to memories
User: /recall
-> Ask: "What would you like to search for?"
Response Format
Present findings conversationally:
- "Found X memories about [topic]..."
- Summarize the most relevant 2-3 findings
- Note memory types and importance levels
- Mention if there are more results available
- Offer to read specific memories in full if needed
