# /recall — Retrieve knowledge from known

Retrieve knowledge relevant to a query, optimized for LLM context.

## Usage

```
/recall <query>
```

Use this **before exploring the codebase** when working in an area where knowledge may
already exist. Recalling stored decisions, conventions, and environment facts is faster
than re-reading source files.

## When to Use

- About to work on a subsystem — recall architecture decisions first
- User asks about conventions, config, or prior decisions
- Starting a new session in a familiar project — recall what's already known
- Before suggesting an approach — check if a decision was already recorded

## Instructions

1. Run the recall command with the user's query:

```bash
known recall '<query>'
```

2. Use the results to inform your work. If the user asked a question, answer it using the recalled knowledge. If you're performing a task, apply the recalled facts (conventions, decisions, environment details) to what you're doing.

3. Briefly tell the user what you found, but don't just dump raw output — synthesize it into your response.

4. If no results are returned, tell the user no matching knowledge was found. Suggest `/known-search` with a lower `--threshold` to broaden the search.

## Scope

The scope is auto-derived from the current working directory. To search a different scope, pass `--scope`:

```bash
known recall '<query>' --scope backend.api
```

In `known scope tree` output, root scopes show a `/` prefix (e.g., `/myproject`).
Within your own project, use bare names. Use the `/` prefix only for cross-project
access (e.g., `--scope /otherproject`).

Scope search is hierarchical: searching `backend` includes `backend.api` and all
other `backend.*` descendants.

## Examples

```bash
known recall 'database connection pooling config'
known recall 'authentication flow' --scope backend
known recall 'deployment process'
known recall 'API conventions and patterns' --scope backend.api
```

## Recall vs Search

- **`/recall`** — Quick retrieval, plain text output tuned for LLM context. Use by default.
- **`/known-search`** — Full control: `--limit`, `--threshold`, `--hybrid`, `--json`. Use when you need entry IDs (for show/update/delete) or fine-grained results.
