PastChats Memory includes a reusable skill:
skills/prompt-memory-recall/SKILL.md
Goal
Force a memory lookup before implementation starts.
What this is (plain English)
- The “skill” is instructions for your agent to run
recallbefore it starts coding. - It does not automatically log chats.
- It makes “check memory first” the default behavior.
Simple pattern
- Receive new task
- Generate short recall query
- Run recall command
- Inject top lessons into planning context
- Start coding
Script helper
skills/prompt-memory-recall/scripts/pre_task_recall.sh "idempotent retries node"
Minimal injected context format
Memory lessons:
1) Use idempotency keys at write boundary (source: ...)
2) Avoid blind retries on 4xx (source: ...)
3) Add bounded exponential backoff (source: ...)
Keep it short. Use memory to guide, not to overfit.
