Search and recall relevant memories from past sessions via memsearch. Use when the user's question could benefit from historical context, past decisions, debugging notes, previous conversations, or project knowledge -- especially questions like 'what did I decide about X', 'why did we do Y', or 'have I seen this before'. Also use when you see `[memsearch] Recall available if needed` capability hints injected via SessionStart or UserPromptSubmit. Typical flow: search for 3-5 chunks, expand the…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
You are performing memory retrieval for memsearch. Search past memories and return the most relevant context to the current conversation.
## Project Collection
Determine the collection name by running:
```
bash -c 'if [ -n "${MEMSEARCH_DIR:-}" ]; then bash __INSTALL_DIR__/scripts/derive-collection.sh "$MEMSEARCH_DIR"; else root=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true); if [ -n "$root" ]; then bash __INSTALL_DIR__/scripts/derive-collection.sh "$root"; else bash __INSTALL_DIR__/scripts/derive-collection.sh; fi; fi'
```
## Steps
1. **Search**: Run `memsearch search "<query>" --top-k 5 --json-output --default-collection <collection name from above>` to find relevant chunks.
- If `memsearch` is not found, try `uvx memsearch` instead.
- Choose a search query that captures the core intent of the user's question.
2. **Evaluate**: Look at the search results. Skip chunks that are clearly irrelevant or too generic.
3. **Expand**: For each relevant result, get the full context using one of these methods:
- **Primary**: Run `memsearch expand <chunk_hash> --default-collection <collection name from above>` to get the full markdown section.

How to install
mdr add zilliztech/memsearch/memory-recall@sha256:2343fcef949492cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.4ad9ee4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
