SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you recover context that was lost to session compaction or exists in a previous conversation. It helps when you need to recall decisions, implementations, or discussions that aren't in the current context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic + keyword recall: Use the aspy_recall tool to search thinking blocks, prompts, and responses across sessions.
  • Targeted recovery: Use aspy_recall_thinking, aspy_recall_prompts, and aspy_recall_responses for precise context retrieval.
  • Continuity & handoff: Synthesize findings and propose next steps to maintain momentum across sessions.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the topic you need to recover.
  2. Use aspy_recall(query="<keywords>", limit=10) to locate relevant context.
  3. Synthesize results: summarize what was decided, where it was mentioned, and what remains open.
  4. Offer continuity: ask if you’d like to continue from the last point.

FAQPage Schema
How do I recover context from previous chat sessions?

Context recovery retrieves lost information from earlier conversations using semantic search across thinking blocks, prompts, and responses. Use aspy_recall with relevant keywords to locate decisions, implementations, and discussions, then synthesize findings into a continuity summary for seamless re-engagement.

Can I search for specific decisions or file paths across multiple sessions?

Yes. Use targeted aspy_recall functions—aspy_recall_thinking, aspy_recall_prompts, aspy_recall_responses—to pinpoint exact context by keyword or topic. Results surface the location and content of prior decisions and file paths for quick reference.

What happens to context after session compaction?

Session compaction removes context from active memory, but this Skill recovers it by searching archived thinking blocks and responses. Semantic and keyword-based retrieval reconstructs the discussion thread and highlights next steps to maintain workflow continuity.

How do I use context recovery when I only partially remember what was discussed?

Start with broad keywords related to the topic, then refine your aspy_recall query based on results. The Skill synthesizes partial matches across thinking blocks and responses to reconstruct the full context and propose continuity actions.

Does context recovery work across different types of content in previous sessions?

Yes. Context recovery searches thinking blocks, prompts, and responses separately or together, enabling retrieval of reasoning steps, user questions, and implementation details from prior sessions in a single workflow.
