# How Recallium works

> See how project context moves between your team, coding agents, and future sessions

Recallium gives every connected agent access to the engineering context your team has already earned. Conversations can end while the decisions, fixes, and lessons remain available to the next person or tool.

## Project context that travels with the work

The workflow has three parts:

1. **Your team works.** People and agents design, implement, debug, test, and review.
2. **Recallium preserves the context.** The useful reasoning stays organized by project, workstream, and related files.
3. **Future work starts informed.** Any connected agent can retrieve the earlier decisions, warnings, and next steps.

## Projects keep context scoped

A project is the main organization and access boundary. It usually maps to a repository or product area. Context from one project does not leak into another project that the user cannot access.

## Workstreams preserve the journey

A workstream groups one body of work, such as an authentication migration or reliability initiative. It keeps the design, trade-offs, fixes, and progress connected so another session can understand how the work evolved.

## Agents capture on your behalf

You work through normal conversation. Ask your agent to remember a decision, investigate earlier fixes, or leave a continuation point. The integration handles the connection to Recallium and attaches the context to the right project.

Examples:

* “Why did we choose Drizzle instead of Prisma?”
* “What should I know before editing `src/auth/session.ts`?”
* “Save the cache invalidation decision and link the files we changed.”
* “Where did we leave the billing migration?”

## Search starts with intent

Recallium searches by meaning as well as exact terms and file paths. You can ask the question you actually need answered instead of remembering a document title or the wording used months ago.

## Access follows the project

Project access controls which context a person or agent can retrieve. Recallium Cloud can also bring together accessible knowledge across repositories and team members without changing those project boundaries.
