Store preferences, task lessons, and procedure outcomes in Hindsight, then retrieve relevant context before starting new work. It records detailed observations and can synthesize past experience into guidance for approaching the next task.
Store user preferences, learnings from tasks, and procedure outcomes. Use to remember what works and recall context before new tasks. (user)
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
You have persistent memory via the hindsight-embed CLI. Proactively store learnings and recall context to provide better assistance.
Before using memory commands, verify Hindsight is configured:
uvx hindsight-embed daemon status
If this fails or shows "not configured", run the interactive setup:
uvx hindsight-embed configure
This will prompt for an LLM provider and API key. After setup, the commands below will work.
When you call retain, Hindsight does not store the string as-is. The server runs an internal pipeline that:
This means you should pass rich, full-context content — the server is better at extracting what matters than a pre-summarized string. Your job is to decide when to store, not what to extract.
Use memory retain to store what you learn. Pass the full context — raw observations, session notes, conversation excerpts, or detailed descriptions:
uvx hindsight-embed memory retain default "User is working on a TypeScript project. They enabled strict mode and prefer explicit type annotations over inference."
uvx hindsight-embed memory retain default "Ran the test suite with NODE_ENV=test. Tests pass. Without NODE_ENV=test, the suite fails with a missing config error." --context procedures
uvx hindsight-embed memory retain default "Build failed on Node 18 with error 'ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME'. Switched to Node 20 and build succeeded." --context learnings
You can also pass a raw conversation transcript with timestamps:
uvx hindsight-embed memory retain default "[2026-03-16T10:12:03] User: The auth tests keep failing on CI but pass locally. Any idea?
[2026-03-16T10:12:45] Assistant: Let me check the CI logs. Looks like the tests are running without the TEST_DATABASE_URL env var set — they fall back to the production DB URL and hit a connection timeout.
[2026-03-16T10:13:20] User: Ah right, I never added that to the CI secrets. Adding it now.
[2026-03-16T10:15:02] User: That fixed it. All green now." --context learnings
Use memory recall BEFORE starting tasks to get relevant context:
uvx hindsight-embed memory recall default "user preferences for this project"
uvx hindsight-embed memory recall default "what issues have we encountered before"
Use memory reflect to synthesize context:
uvx hindsight-embed memory reflect default "How should I approach this task based on past experience?"
Always store after you learn something valuable:
Always recall before:
--context for metadata: The --context flag labels the type of memory (e.g., procedures, learnings, preferences), not a replacement for full contentNo reviews yet. Tell others what you thought.
No login needed. Share how it worked for you, ask a question, or note where it did not run.

Record task handoffs between Bots in shared Hindsight memory, including progress, remaining work, sources, and caveats. Other Bots can retrieve the record later, continue unfinished work, and report the outcome back through shared memory.
Review changed code against project rules and report missing tests, unused code, typing problems, and style violations. It also checks API design and data isolation, helping developers identify issues after implementation.
Create a specialized Claude Code subagent with Hindsight long-term memory. Start with an empty agent or import prepared documents, then equip it with knowledge pages and memory search to reuse information across sessions.
Create an animated diagram showing request flows, background jobs, or feature changes. The result is a single SVG image for README files, pull requests, issues, or blog posts, with support for light and dark themes.
Plan how an AI application should use Hindsight memory. Identify useful information to retain, define user-scoping tags and memory bank settings, and specify how retrieved facts and synthesized knowledge should reach the model.
Store project conventions, task outcomes, and troubleshooting lessons in a shared Hindsight Cloud memory bank. Retrieve relevant context before new work, or synthesize past experience to guide decisions and help teammates reuse what has been learned.
