How do I search past memory to recall information from previous sessions?

Cross-session memory search queries a persistent database to retrieve historical actions and past problem resolutions from prior interactions. It matches user inquiries against indexed entries to recall information previously discussed.

How does contextual retrieval work when searching past memory history?

Contextual retrieval works through a three-layer workflow: searching for indexed IDs, retrieving chronological context around specific entries, and fetching full details of filtered observations from the memory database.

Can I use cross-session memory search to find how we resolved a past issue?

Yes, cross-session memory search is designed specifically to find information discussed or actions taken in sessions prior to the current one. It retrieves relevant past session details to help you recall past problem resolutions.

What's the best way to retrieve chronological context around a specific past memory entry?

The best way to retrieve chronological context is using the Skill's three-layer workflow, which involves searching for indexed IDs first, then retrieving the chronological context around those specific database entries to understand topic evolution.

Do I need any external database dependencies to search past conversation history?

No external database dependencies are required. The Skill searches a persistent cross-session memory database natively to retrieve past conversation history and recorded memories without needing additional components.
