Recall
When you've been deep in a feature across multiple sessions or you're picking up work after a few days, this reconstructs where you actually left off. It mines your chat history, checks live state with git and gh, and sweeps the shared record (PRs, tickets, user reports, reverted fixes) so you're not repeating something that already failed. The output is a tight brief with status tags per thread, recurring problems, and the next concrete move. The architecture is smart: parallel subagents do the transcript grinding while the main thread stays light, and it reuses the why skill's investigators to pull context from source control and issue trackers. Good for "catch me up on X" or before resuming anything with a bug tail.

Recall
Before you start or resume work, you rebuild the user's recent working context and hand back a tight capsule of where things stand now and what to do next.
Keep it tight and on-topic. Read only what the in-scope threads need, then stop.
Your context lives in two records. Your own chat history holds what you did and decided. The shared record holds everything that happened around the same code under other names: the symptoms users keep reporting, the fixes that shipped and got reverted, the errors still firing in prod. That second record is what the why skill searches, across source control, the issue tracker, chat and issue channels, long-form docs, and error tracking. A feature with a long bug tail keeps most of its story there, so don't reconstruct it from your transcripts alone.
Transcripts live at ~/.cursor/projects/<slug>/agent-transcripts/<uuid>/<uuid>.jsonl, where <slug> is the workspace path with the leading slash dropped and each "/" turned into "-" (so /Users/you/proj becomes Users-you-proj). Every line is one chat message.
