# Recall — Find What Was Said When Joel references something vaguely, don't guess — fan out across all memory sources and find it. ## Trigger Detection Phrases that indicate a recall is needed (case-insensitive): - "from earlier", "earlier today", "earlier this week" - "remember when", "remember that", "you mentioned" - "what we discussed", "what we talked about", "the conversation about" - "that thing with", "the thing about", "what was that" - "did we ever", "have we", "wasn't there" - "last session", "the other day", "yesterday" - "correlate with", "connect to what we" - Any vague pronoun reference to past context ("those photos", "that idea", "the notes") **Key principle**: If you'd have to guess what "earlier" or "that" refers to, you need recall. ## Fan-Out Search Pattern Search these sources **in parallel** where possible, with timeouts on each: ### 1. Today's Daily Log (fastest, most likely) ```bash # Always check first — most "from earlier" references are same-day cat ~/.joelclaw/workspace/memory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md ``` ### 2. Recent Daily Logs (if today's doesn't have it) ```bash # Yesterday and day before cat ~/.joelclaw/workspace/memory/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d).md cat ~/.joelclaw/workspace/memory/$(date -v-2d +%Y-%m-%d).md ``` ### 3. Curated Memory ```bash cat ~/.joelclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md ``` Search for keywords from the vague reference. ### 4. Session Transcripts Use the `session_context` tool to search recent sessions: ``` sessions(limit: 10) # fin
