FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve exact quotes from session history with timestamps?

To retrieve exact quotes from session history, you can request verbatim user and assistant messages across sessions. The tool returns quotes with precise timestamps and mentions the source without adding analysis or summarization.

Can I search git history and past sessions to reconstruct context?

Yes, you can search across git history and multiple sessions to reconstruct context. It gathers artifacts from user messages, assistant responses, and git history, returning exact quotes to preserve original context without interpretation.

Does the session history retrieval provide analysis or summaries of past conversations?

Session history retrieval does not provide analysis or summaries. It returns exact quotes as-is from user and assistant messages, avoiding interpretation unless explicitly requested, to ensure accurate audit and context reconstruction.

What is the best way to pull verbatim messages across multiple sessions for an audit?

The best way to pull verbatim messages for an audit is using a hive-mind retrieval agent. It aggregates direct quotes with timestamps from multiple sessions and git history, providing source mentions for thorough context reconstruction.

Are there limitations when using a quote-focused retrieval for context reconstruction?

A limitation of quote-focused retrieval is that it strictly avoids analysis or summarization. It only returns verbatim quotes with timestamps and source mentions, meaning you must manually interpret the aggregated session and git history artifacts.
