    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads remembering conversations automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Remembering Conversations

Search archived conversations using semantic similarity or exact text matching.

Core principle: Search before reinventing.

Announce: "I'm searching previous conversations for [topic]."

Setup: See INDEXING.md

When to Use

Search when:

  • Your human partner mentions "we discussed this before"
  • Debugging similar issues
  • Looking for architectural decisions or patterns
  • Before implementing something familiar

Don't search when:

  • Info in current conversation
  • Question about current codebase (use Grep/Read)

In-Session Use

Always use subagents (50-100x context savings). See skills/using-skills for workflow.

Manual/CLI use: Direct search (below) for humans outside Claude Code sessions.

Direct Search (Manual/CLI)

Tool: ${SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_ROOT}/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/search-conversations

Modes:

search-conversations "query"              # Vector similarity (default)
search-conversations --text "exact"       # Exact string match
search-conversations --both "query"       # Both modes

Flags:

--after YYYY-MM-DD    # Filter by date
--before YYYY-MM-DD   # Filter by date
--limit N             # Max results (default: 10)
--help                # Full usage

Examples:

# Semantic search
search-conversations "React Router authentication errors"

# Find git SHA
search-conversations --text "a1b2c3d4"

# Time range
search-conversations --after 2025-09-01 "refactoring"

Returns: project, date, conversation summary, matched exchange, similarity %, file path.

For details: Run search-conversations --help
