Memory Context Recall
When the user asks to remember past conversations or facts:
- •Use search_memory with a suitable grain (working, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and optional queryText for semantic search.
- •Use minimumDaysAgo and maximumDaysAgo to bound the time window (e.g. "last week" = maximumDaysAgo 7, minimumDaysAgo 0).
- •Synthesize recalled events into context before answering; cite that the answer is based on prior context when relevant.
- •Prefer working grain for "our last conversation" or recent context; use daily or weekly for broader recall.
- •When no queryText is provided, the tool returns most recent events for the grain and time range.
Step-by-step instructions
- •Interpret the user's time intent: "last conversation" -> working, 0-1 days; "last week" -> daily or weekly, maximumDaysAgo 7; "last month" -> weekly or monthly, maximumDaysAgo 30.
- •Call search_memory with grain, minimumDaysAgo, maximumDaysAgo, and optionally queryText (for semantic match) and maxResults (default 10, max 100).
- •Read the returned events (prefixed by date when available) and extract relevant facts or prior decisions.
- •Answer the user's question using the recalled context; say "Based on our previous conversation..." or "From what we discussed..." when appropriate.
- •If nothing relevant is found, say so and suggest rephrasing the time range or query.
Examples of inputs and outputs
- •
Input: "What did we decide about the API design last time?"
Output: Short summary of the relevant prior decision from search_memory (grain=working or daily, queryText="API design" or no queryText with recent range); cite that it's from a prior conversation. - •
Input: "Do you remember the budget number we discussed?"
Output: The budget value if found in search_memory (e.g. grain=working, queryText="budget"); if not found, "I don't have that in memory for that period."
Common edge cases
- •No results: Say "I couldn't find anything in memory for that period/topic" and suggest widening the time range or trying a different query.
- •Ambiguous time range: If the user says "a while ago", use a broad range (e.g. maximumDaysAgo 90) and optionally queryText; summarize what you find.
- •Too many results: Use maxResults (e.g. 10-20) and summarize the most relevant; mention that more may exist.
- •queryText vs no queryText: Use queryText for topic-specific recall; omit it for "what happened in the last N days" style requests.
Tool usage for specific purposes
- •search_memory (grain=working): Use for "last conversation", "recently", or most recent events.
- •search_memory (grain=daily/weekly/monthly): Use for "last week", "this month", or summarized recall over longer periods.
- •search_memory (queryText): Use when the user asks about a specific topic or fact to search semantically.
- •minimumDaysAgo / maximumDaysAgo: Use to narrow the window (e.g. last 7 days: maximumDaysAgo 7, minimumDaysAgo 0).
