Use BEFORE starting any non-trivial coding task in an existing project — feature work, refactors, bugfixes, or "look at this codebase" requests. Triggers when the user asks to add/change/fix something inside a repo (e.g. "add X to the dashboard", "refactor the auth flow", "fix the bug in cost calculation", "why is this slow"). Surfaces recent prior sessions in the same project so the agent isn't redoing work or contradicting decisions made in past sessions.

English

Use when the user references a SPECIFIC FILE in a coding task — "fix the bug in routes/cost.py", "what was that change to api.ts about", "refactor stackunderflow/store/queries.py", or any request that names a path. Surfaces past sessions that read or wrote that file so the work is grounded in prior context (recent edits, why the file is shaped that way, half-finished refactors).

English

Use when the user references a PAST DECISION, choice, or rationale — "what did we decide about caching?", "why is X done this way?", "didn't we agree to use Y?", "remind me how we handled Z before". Searches indexed message history across all prior sessions to find the conversation where the decision was made and surfaces the matching excerpt with timestamp.

English

Includes Check Prior Work, Find Related Sessions, and Recall Past Decisions.

Check Prior Work

Use BEFORE starting any non-trivial coding task in an existing project — feature work, refactors, bugfixes, or "look at this codebase" requests. Triggers when the user asks to add/change/fix something inside a repo (e.g. "add X to the dashboard", "refactor the auth flow", "fix the bug in cost calculation", "why is this slow"). Surfaces recent prior sessions in the same project so the agent isn't redoing work or contradicting decisions made in past sessions.

Find Related Sessions

Use when the user references a SPECIFIC FILE in a coding task — "fix the bug in routes/cost.py", "what was that change to api.ts about", "refactor stackunderflow/store/queries.py", or any request that names a path. Surfaces past sessions that read or wrote that file so the work is grounded in prior context (recent edits, why the file is shaped that way, half-finished refactors).

Recall Past Decisions

Use when the user references a PAST DECISION, choice, or rationale — "what did we decide about caching?", "why is X done this way?", "didn't we agree to use Y?", "remind me how we handled Z before". Searches indexed message history across all prior sessions to find the conversation where the decision was made and surfaces the matching excerpt with timestamp.

  3. Send it to your agent. Paste into your coding agent’s chat. Your agent reviews the source and guides the setup.

Try it with your agent

After installation, start with a request like:

Example request
Use the Check Prior Work skill to help with my task.
Ask me for the context you need before getting started.
