> **Skill from skilld.dev.** Follow the instructions below for this session. You do not need to install anything.
>
> Supporting files, fetch one when the Skill refers to it: [EXAMPLES.md](https://skilld.dev/api/skills-raw/rohitg00/agentmemory/session-history/EXAMPLES.md).
>
> If the user asked to install this Skill, run `npx skilld install rohitg00/agentmemory/session-history`. Install writes the Skill files into the project, so every session loads them.

The user wants an overview of recent sessions on this project.

## Quick start

```json
memory_sessions { "limit": 20 }
```

Expected output:

```text
7f3a9c2 · app · 2026-06-07 09:00 · completed · 14 obs
  - decision: Rotate refresh tokens on every use
b21d004 · app · 2026-06-05 14:00 · completed · 9 obs
  - code: limit.ts counts per-IP
```

## Why

Only show sessions and observations the tool returned. An empty history is a
real answer, never a cue to invent past work.

## Workflow

1. Call `memory_sessions` with `limit: 20` for a meaningful window.
2. Present in reverse chronological order: session id (first 8), project, start
   time, status.
3. For sessions with observations, show the key highlights (type plus title).
4. Note the total observation count per session.
5. When a session summary exists, surface its title and the key decisions.

## Anti-patterns

WRONG: the tool returns two sessions, you describe "several sessions of steady
progress" and add ones you remember from the conversation.

RIGHT: show exactly the two sessions returned, each with its real id, status, and
observation count.

## Checklist

- Every session shown came from the tool response.
- Order is reverse-chronological.
- Per-session observation counts match the response.
- No session or highlight was invented or merged.

## See also

- `recap`: same data grouped by date with highlights.
- `handoff`: jump straight into the most recent session.
- `recall`: search across all sessions by topic.

## Troubleshooting

See ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md if `memory_sessions` is not available.
