Knowledge and Work

Knowledge and Work answer different questions. Neither is a raw database browser.

Knowledge

Knowledge answers: What does Recon currently understand about this topic?

Open a subject to see source-backed facts, decisions, related topics, where the information was learned, changes over time, and anything that needs review. Selecting a relationship narrows the view to the relevant connected information.

Knowledge is useful when you want to learn or revisit a topic without knowing which session or file contains the answer.

Your Work

Your Work answers: What meaningful effort happened, and how did Recon help?

A Work item groups a real effort, such as fixing ingestion from git worktrees or preparing a local Mac release. It can include:

• Claude Code or Codex sessions
• decisions and rejected paths
• files and topics involved
• memory retrieved before the work
• new memory captured during the work
• the result and when it happened

Open Your Work from the top of Knowledge. Work is not a list of generic “work item 1” rows. Its title should describe the effort a person would recognize.

Sessions

A session is one supported agent conversation inside a Work item. Ask conversations in the Mac app are separate from Claude Code or Codex work sessions, even when both use the same local memory.

Needs review

Review appears when Recon finds a duplicate, conflict, uncertain merge, or other condition that needs a person. Open the item to compare the receipts and use the action shown there. A warning is not the same as a settled fact.
