## Description

Retrieve recent local Clips Rewind context when the user says "Look at Rewind," asks what just happened, or refers to something they recently said or saw.

# Rewind

Use Clips Rewind as local screen memory. Start broad enough to find the right
moment, then read only the smallest relevant range.

## First-Run Setup

Call `screen_memory_status` before assuming Rewind is ready. If the tool is
unavailable, do not stop at a missing-tool error and do not silently install
anything:

1. Explain that Rewind requires the signed Clips Desktop app on macOS plus a
   local agent connection.
2. Ask whether Clips is installed, or use a non-mutating native application
   lookup when the host supports one. Do not inspect Clips' app-data folders.
   If Clips is absent or its presence cannot be confirmed, ask permission
   before opening or downloading anything: “Clips Desktop is required for
   Rewind. Would you like me to open the official installer and guide you
   through setup?”
3. Only after affirmative permission, open
   `https://clips.agent-native.com/download` in the user's browser. Complete
   native installation steps only when the current host can safely do so and
   the user explicitly permitted them. Never bypass Gatekeeper, accept macOS
   permission prompts, or enable screen/audio capture on the user's behalf.
4. If native UI control is unavailable, return the download link and wait for
   the user to confirm that Clips is installed and running.
5. Ask the user to enable Rewind in the Clips tray and choose the intended
   capture mode. Then configure the local connection with:

   `npx -y @agent-native/core@latest skills add rewind --client <client> --scope user --yes`

   Replace `<client>` with the current compatible host: `codex`,
   `claude-code`, `cursor`, `opencode`, `github-copilot`, or `cowork`.
6. Restart the host only if it cannot reload MCP servers in place, then retry
   `screen_memory_status`. Do not claim setup succeeded until it reports
   Rewind enabled and unpaused.
