This skill retrieves relevant historical context including prevention rules, past failures, and context packs before starting a coding task. It helps avoid repeating previous mistakes by surfacing corrective actions and lessons learned from prior sessions. Developers should use it when beginning new coding tasks, modifying previously failed code, or resuming work from earlier sessions.
Recall Context
Retrieve relevant historical context before beginning work on a coding task.
When to use
- Starting a new coding task or feature
- Before making changes to code that has failed before
- Resuming work from a previous session
How it works
Use the recall MCP tool to retrieve:
- Prevention rules — Rules auto-promoted from repeated failure patterns that apply to the current task.
- Past failures — Specific failure events with context, tags, and corrective actions.
- Context packs — Bundled project context from previous sessions.
Example
Use the recall MCP tool to check for known issues with the authentication module before refactoring.The tool returns structured context that helps avoid repeating past mistakes and surfaces corrective actions from promoted lessons.
