Chat Recall Extension

The Chat Recall extension helps goose remember past conversations by searching across your session history. When you need context from previous work, goose can search for relevant conversations or load summaries of specific sessions.

goose automatically uses Chat Recall when you reference past work or ask questions that require historical context.

Configuration​

Platform Extension

This is a built-in platform extension that's enabled by default. Platform extensions provide core functionality and are used within goose just like MCP server extensions.

Example Usage​

Chat Recall can search across all sessions using keywords. Results are grouped by session and ordered by recency, and can be filtered by date. Alternatively, you can provide session IDs to load summaries of specific sessions.

Let's ask goose to find recent conversations about a topic:

What did we discuss about database migrations last week?

I found discussions about database migrations in your recent sessions. Here's what we covered:

Database Migration Discussions - Last Week

Session: Fix migration scripts (Nov 26, 2024)​

Working Dir: /projects/myapp

We debugged a production database migration that was failing with a "column already exists" error. The key points were:

  • The migration was trying to add a column that already existed in some environments
  • We added conditional logic to check if the column exists before adding it
  • Tested the fix locally and committed the changes

Session: Database schema updates (Nov 27, 2024)​

Working Dir: /projects/myapp

We discussed adding email verification functionality:

  • Planned to add a new email_verified column to the users table
  • Discussed whether to make it nullable or default to false
  • Created the migration script for the new column

Both sessions were focused on safely updating the database schema in production. Would you like me to load the full details from either of these sessions?

info

Compacted sessions from goose versions prior to v1.14.0 may not be searchable due to a change in how conversation history is stored.
