Excerpt

Search Memory

When to Search (Autonomous Recognition)

Strong signals:

Continuity: Current topic connects to prior work
Pattern match: Problem resembles past solved issue
Decision context: "Why/how we chose X" implies documented rationale
Recurring theme: Topic discussed in past sessions
Implicit recall: "that approach", "like before"

Contextual signals:

Complex debugging (may match past root causes)
Architecture discussion (choices may be documented)
Domain-specific question (conventions likely stored)

Skip when:

Fundamentally new topic
Generic syntax questions
Fresh perspective explicitly requested

Tool Usage

Use nmem CLI with --json flag for programmatic search:
