recall

A context-retrieval tool that loads saved project guidance before code-related work. It helps an agent use instructions and knowledge recorded from earlier work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing code, exploring a repository, inspecting files, reviewing code, or investigating tools and environments.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of repeating known mistakes or overlooking project-specific rules during coding, debugging, or investigation.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/retrieve_entities.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Entity Retrieval

Overview

This skill loads relevant stored Evolve entities into the current turn before substantive work begins.

Use this skill first whenever the task involves:

  • code changes
  • debugging
  • code review
  • repo exploration
  • file inspection
  • environment/tooling investigation

Skip only for trivial conversational requests with no local context.

Required Action

Before any non-trivial local work, you must complete the recall workflow below. Reading this SKILL.md alone does not satisfy the skill.

Completion Rule

Do not proceed to other analysis or tool use until all steps below are complete.

  1. If a manifest has already been injected for this turn, use it to pick which entity files to open. Otherwise inspect ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/entities/ and ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/public/ for guidance relevant to the current task.
  2. Read each matching entity file that appears relevant.
  3. Summarize the applicable guidance in your own words before proceeding.
  4. If no relevant entities exist, state that explicitly before proceeding.

Required Visible Completion Note

Before moving on, produce an explicit completion note in your reasoning or user update using one of these forms:

  • Recall complete: searched ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/entities/, read <files>, applicable guidance: <summary>
  • Recall complete: searched ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/entities/, no relevant entities found

Minimum Acceptable Procedure

  1. List or search files under ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/entities/ and ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/public/ (or read the injected manifest if one is present).
  2. Identify candidate entities relevant to the task.
  3. Open and read those entity files.
  4. Summarize what applies, or state that nothing applies.

Failure Conditions

The skill is not complete if any of the following are true:

  • You only read this SKILL.md
  • You did not inspect ${EVOLVE_DIR:-.evolve}/entities/
  • You did not read the relevant entity files
  • You proceeded without stating whether guidance was found

Files

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.

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.

recall is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentToolkit/altk-evolve (105 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 817 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
