build_context

Create conversational context from memory:// URLs to reference past discussions or explore related topics. Supports natural language timeframes, pattern matching, and folder-like paths for retrieval.

Instructions

Build context from a memory:// URI to continue conversations naturally.

Use this to follow up on previous discussions or explore related topics.

Memory URL Format:
- Use paths like "folder/note" or "memory://folder/note" 
- Pattern matching: "folder/*" matches all notes in folder
- Valid characters: letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, forward slashes
- Avoid: double slashes (//), angle brackets (<>), quotes, pipes (|)
- Examples: "specs/search", "projects/basic-memory", "notes/*"

Timeframes support natural language like:
- "2 days ago", "last week", "today", "3 months ago"
- Or standard formats like "7d", "24h"
