What Deja Search does

Deja Search looks up your past AI coding sessions with the deja CLI or MCP tools. Use it before re-debugging errors or revisiting decisions that may already have been solved.

Deja Search is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Deja Search comes from a repository tagged agent-memory, ai-memory, antigravity, bm25 and claude.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Search deja before re-deriving past work: when the user refers to earlier sessions or decisions, before debugging an error, and before implementing something that may already exist. It searches this machine's own history across every AI coding tool used on it, going back further than deja itself was installed.

This skill drives the deja binary through the shell. If the deja MCP tools (recall, recall_context, blame, fix, how, remember) are available in this session, use those instead — same index, one less hop. They appear only when deja install has wired this harness.
