/how — Procedural Knowledge Recall

Resolve procedural triggers against the memory index. Returns decision file content with ancestor and sibling navigation links.

Resolution Modes

Trigger mode — fuzzy-match an index entry to a decision heading:

claudeutils _recall resolve "how encode paths"

Section mode — look up a heading directly by name (dot prefix):

claudeutils _recall resolve "how .Path Encoding Algorithm"

File mode — load an entire decision file (double-dot prefix, relative to agents/decisions/):

claudeutils _recall resolve "how ..data-processing.md"

When to Use

• Need to know how to accomplish a specific task or technique
• Looking up a step-by-step procedure documented in project decisions
• Need implementation guidance — how to encode paths, how to structure tests, how to configure tools

When NOT to Use

• Need behavioral/situational knowledge — use /when instead
• Content already in context from a prior /recall, /when, or /how invocation (do not re-resolve)
• Exploring unfamiliar code (use Grep/Read directly)

Output Format

Returns the matched section content followed by navigation:

• Broader: ancestor headings and ..file.md link for surrounding context
• Related: sibling /how entries under the same parent heading
