Summary
Search conversation history to avoid reinventing solutions and inform architectural decisions.
- Dispatch the search-conversations subagent to query past conversations; the agent synthesizes results into actionable insights with sources
- Use after understanding the task when facing "how should I..." questions, architectural decisions, or unfamiliar workflows
- Activate when stuck on complex problems, following past patterns, or when user references previous work or decisions
- Avoid searching for current codebase structure or information already in the active conversation; explore code first with grep or read tools

Remembering Conversations
Core principle: Search before reinventing. Searching costs nothing; reinventing or repeating mistakes costs everything.
Mandatory: Use the Search Agent
YOU MUST dispatch the search-conversations agent for any historical search.
Announce: "Dispatching search agent to find [topic]."
Then use the Task tool with subagent_type: "search-conversations":
Task tool:
description: "Search past conversations for [topic]"
prompt: "Search for [specific query or topic]. Focus on [what you're looking for - e.g., decisions, patterns, gotchas, code examples]."
subagent_type: "search-conversations"
