session-history

The user wants an overview of recent sessions on this project.

Quick start

memory_sessions { "limit": 20 }

Expected output:

7f3a9c2 · app · 2026-06-07 09:00 · completed · 14 obs
  - decision: Rotate refresh tokens on every use
b21d004 · app · 2026-06-05 14:00 · completed · 9 obs
  - code: limit.ts counts per-IP

Why

Only show sessions and observations the tool returned. An empty history is a real answer, never a cue to invent past work.

Workflow

1. Call memory_sessions with limit: 20 for a meaningful window.
2. Present in reverse chronological order: session id (first 8), project, start

time, status.

1. For sessions with observations, show the key highlights (type plus title).
2. Note the total observation count per session.
3. When a session summary exists, surface its title and the key decisions.

Anti-patterns

WRONG: the tool returns two sessions, you describe "several sessions of steady progress" and add ones you remember from the conversation.

RIGHT: show exactly the two sessions returned, each with its real id, status, and observation count.

Checklist

• Every session shown came from the tool response.
• Order is reverse-chronological.
• Per-session observation counts match the response.
• No session or highlight was invented or merged.

See also

• recap: same data grouped by date with highlights.
• handoff: jump straight into the most recent session.
• recall: search across all sessions by topic.
