SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cog History enables rapid recall and cross-document synthesis of past conversations and memory items, saving users time digging through archives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Recursive search across observations, entities, action-items, and glacier memory to locate relevant context.
  • Three-pass retrieval: grep, locate, and synthesize to build a coherent narrative from multiple files.
  • Use case: when a user asks 'what did I say about X?' or needs the history of a topic across sessions.

Quick Start

Ask me to summarize past discussions or locate specific memories across your notes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I recall past conversations and search memory across different domains?

To recall past conversations across domains, use a three-pass retrieval workflow that searches observations, entities, and memory items to locate and synthesize relevant context into a coherent narrative.

What is the best way to find the history of a topic across multiple sessions?

Finding the history of a topic across sessions requires recursive search across action-items and memory sources, using grep, locate, and synthesize passes to build a coherent narrative from multiple files.

Can I retrieve specific memories from glacier archival storage?

Yes, you can retrieve specific memories from glacier archival access by including glacier memory sources in the recursive search to locate context across past observations and entities.

How does cross-reference synthesis work when digging up context from past notes?

Cross-reference synthesis works by executing a three-pass retrieval workflow that searches across multiple files, using grep to locate matches, then synthesizing the fragments into a coherent narrative.

Do I need any external dependencies to perform cross-domain context recall?

No external dependencies are required to perform cross-domain context recall, as the three-pass retrieval workflow operates directly on available memory sources and glacier archival access.
