 "title": "Reuse remembered code only when it is still verified",
 "page_title": "How to reuse remembered code only when it is still verified with Heimdall",
 "summary": "Check each hit's verdict so an agent acts on STRONG matches and skips stale paths.",
 "who": "An engineer who lets an agent reuse past code and needs to avoid acting on a moved or changed file.",
 "problem": "Vector search returns plausible matches, and an agent that acts on a dead or changed path wastes time or breaks work.",
 "outcome": "Each result carries a verdict, so an agent can reuse STRONG paths directly and treat WEAK, REBUILT, STALE or REMOVED paths with care.",
 "steps": [
  "`npm i -g @arihantdeva/heimdall`",
  "`heimdall setup`",
  "`heimdall doctor`",
  "`heimdall search \"<topic>\"` (inferred, check the README)",
  "`heimdall verify --deep`"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the heimdall CLI from ArihantDeva/heimdall to search for <topic>. Reuse only hits marked STRONG, and list WEAK or STALE hits separately with the printed reason. Expected output: a table of verdicts and paths. Verify each STRONG path with a file check before editing it.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "codex",
  "cursor"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README states that a same-size rewrite that also restores mtime is invisible to a stat-based STRONG check, so `heimdall verify --deep` is needed for that case.",

 "tags": [

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js with npm, to run `npm i -g @arihantdeva/heimdall`",
  "macOS or a Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Amazon Linux machine, with the build prerequisites listed in the README for the graft backend",
  "git, because llama.cpp is cloned at first build",
  "A supported agent harness: pi, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or opencode"
