recall

recall is a command for Claude Code from vshulcz/deja-vu. It costs 17 tokens per session (174 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deja, MIT.

A command for searching your own past AI coding sessions on the machine. It can look for earlier discussions, errors, decisions, or fixes across coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a past error message, function name, file path, project decision, or fix, then retrieve more context when the first result is too brief.
Why use it?
It saves you from repeating an investigation when the same project problem or question was already handled in an earlier session.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recall scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to deja — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Search the user's own past sessions across every AI coding tool on this machine, then answer from what you find.

Run the recall tool with the user's words as the query — the most specific tokens win (an exact error string, a function name, a file path, a flag). If a result looks right but is too short to act on, follow up with recall_context using a term from it.

If the deja MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI:

deja search -- "$ARGUMENTS"

Answer with what actually happened in those sessions — when it was, which project and tool, what was decided or fixed. Say plainly if nothing matched rather than filling the gap from general knowledge.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
