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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.00927 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00371 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00185 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00093 |
Grade B, and why
recall scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

86% identical to recall — 154 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/recall
Search Wenlan memory by natural-language query. Use /brief for broad session
orientation and /recall for a specific fact, decision, lesson, or preference.
Argument parsing
Accept one optional inline token of the form space:<name> anywhere in the
argument string. Extract it before treating the rest as the query:
raw_args="<the full argument string passed to /recall>"
space_arg="$(printf '%s\n' "$raw_args" | grep -oE 'space:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+' | head -1 | cut -d: -f2)"
query="$(printf '%s\n' "$raw_args" | sed -E 's/[[:space:]]*space:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+[[:space:]]*/ /g' | sed -E 's/^[[:space:]]+|[[:space:]]+$//g')"
If query is empty, ask the user what they want to search for.
Resolve the active space
Call the Codex resolver:
# The resolver ships inside the installed plugin; the relative path only
# exists in a wenlan checkout.
resolver="$(find "$HOME/.codex/plugins/cache" -path '*/wenlan/*/bin/resolve-space.sh' 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
resolved="$("${resolver:-plugin-codex/bin/resolve-space.sh}" --cwd "$PWD" ${space_arg:+--arg "$space_arg"} 2>/dev/null)"
space="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f1)"
source_layer="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f2)"
If space is non-empty, print:
Resolved space: <space> (from <source-layer>)
If space is empty, print:
Resolved space: none (unscoped)
Pass space="<resolved>" to mcp__wenlan__recall only when space is
non-empty. Do not substitute personal for an unscoped result.
Expand once, then call recall
Rewrite the query only enough to improve retrieval:
- Replace pronouns with the referent from the current thread.
- Expand an abbreviation when the embedder may miss it.
- Add one obvious synonym when the user's wording is too narrow.
Do not issue multiple recall calls. Use one call:
mcp__wenlan__recall(
query="<expanded query>",
space="<resolved if non-empty>",
memory_type="<only if the query names a type>"
)
Infer memory_type only when the user names a type, such as "decision on X",
"lesson about Y", or "preference for Z". Otherwise omit it.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 117 lines · 32 tokens per session scan B 454d738cd473
recall is a skill published in the GitHub repository 7xuanlu/wenlan (79 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 927 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). It is 86% identical to recall, differing in 154 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
wenlan-handoff
End a work session. Stores durable captures, writes a narrative session log, and automatically applies typed item-level deltas to the current Space Brief. Invoked as /wenlan-handoff.
curate
Power-user audit of Wenlan's pending surfaces: accept or dismiss pending revisions (conflicts/merges), or audit pending captures (not yet confirmed). Most users want /brief for revisions; that handles the daily flow. Use /wenlan curate only for explicit deep-walk audits after bulk imports, or to walk the full queue…
wenlan-capture
Save a memory to Wenlan in flow, or save something from this conversation as one note when the user asks for a note. Use proactively when the user states a preference, makes a decision, corrects you, or shares a durable fact. Invoked as /wenlan-capture .
wenlan
A single command entry point for Wenlan, a tool that checks its setup and connection and turns stored memories into notes. It can also open or list notes and report its current status.
wenlan-recall
Search Wenlan's local memory by query. Targeted lookup, not orientation. Invoked as /wenlan-recall . Use when the user asks "do you remember", "what do you know about", "look up".
pages
Browse, open, or print distilled pages, reusing the wenlan pages CLI for the actual open (one implementation on your PATH, no setup). /wenlan pages opens the page when one matches, or shows a small native picker when 2-4 match. /wenlan pages --print reads the page here instead of opening an editor. /wenlan pages lists…
