name: recall-context description: Recall relevant past failures, prevention rules, and context packs before starting a coding task.

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:

1. Prevention rules — Rules auto-promoted from repeated failure patterns that apply to the current task.
2. Past failures — Specific failure events with context, tags, and corrective actions.
3. 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.
