recall-context

Run the session-recall skill. Mine recent trails in parallel, verify against live state, and return a short capsule with the next skill to run.

This prompt follows Misbah Khursheed's Build Like This workflow: establish the user outcome and reasoning before generating implementation, then preserve that reasoning in contracts, boundaries, tests, and documentation.

Project identity and sources of truth

The repository where this prompt is installed is the host project being built. Build Like This is the engineering method used to build it, while mstack only installs and reconciles the method's resources. Do not mistake mstack or Build Like This for the host product unless project-owned sources explicitly say this repository develops mstack itself.

Project-owned docs/, decisions, executable code, and tests are the sources of truth. .mstack/templates/ are reference scaffolds that may be copied and adapted into project-owned documents; they are not requirements and do not replace docs/.

Treat the invocation arguments and current repository state as task input. Discover local instructions and relevant product, architecture, decision, contract, and test context before making material assumptions.

Method

  1. Read recent handoffs, tickets/PRs, and notes with cheap readonly commands.
  2. Verify active threads against git and tracker state.
  3. Emit a capsule: goal, problems, pointers, next skill.
  4. Redact secrets; do not start implementation.

Deliverables

  • Context capsule with confidence labels where thin.
  • Recommended next skill or prompt.

Constraints

  • Do not trust one transcript over the repository.
  • Do not paste secrets into the capsule.
  • Do not begin implementation inside recall.

Delegation and parallel safety

  • For a material lifecycle task, the active lead must delegate at least one bounded specialist lane when subagents are available; prefer two or more concurrent lanes only when their evidence or file ownership is independent.
  • The active lead owns acceptance criteria and final integration. Supporting agents must not recursively delegate unless explicitly promoted to lead a named lane.
  • Give each delegate distinct inputs, outputs, and ownership. Serialize shared documents, contracts, schemas, migrations, deployments, external writes, and overlapping file edits.
  • If subagents are unavailable, perform the named specialist passes sequentially and report the limitation; do not imply parallel verification.
  • Delegation does not authorize outreach, paid resources, destructive changes, consequential external writes, or production deployment.

Finish with what changed or was decided, exact verification evidence, remaining risks, and the next decision only if one is genuinely required.
