abmind_recall_workaround

abmind_recall_workaround is a skill for Claude Code from aksika/abtars. It costs 28 tokens per session (709 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only fallback for retrieving saved memories directly from a SQLite database when the normal recall tool fails. SQLite is a small database format that can be queried with the sqlite3 command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list recent memories or search memory contents by keyword during a recall failure.
Why use it?
It provides a way to read unencrypted memories when the memory service is unavailable, missing its embedding provider, or is not registered. It avoids writing to the database and excludes encrypted records.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

abmind_recall_workaround 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 5d 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.

abmind recall — direct DB workaround

When abmind recall errors out (daemon down, embedding provider missing, tool not registered), memories can still be read directly from the memory database. Read-only sqlite3 queries — macOS ships sqlite3.

DB path (Molty): ~/.abmind/memory/memory.db

Rules

  • Always open read-only (no write transactions from a skill)
  • Always filter encrypted = 0 — encrypted rows store ciphertext and are unreadable directly
  • SECRET memories (classification = 3) are always sealed/encrypted — they never appear in direct reads
  • Timestamps are epoch milliseconds → datetime(timestamp/1000,'unixepoch','localtime')

Recent memories

sqlite3 -header -column ~/.abmind/memory/memory.db "SELECT id, memory_type, topic, datetime(created_at/1000,'unixepoch','localtime') AS created, substr(content_en,1,200) AS content FROM extracted_memories WHERE encrypted = 0 ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20;"

Keyword search (memories, not raw messages)

sqlite3 -header -column ~/.abmind/memory/memory.db "SELECT id, memory_type, topic, datetime(created_at/1000,'unixepoch','localtime') AS created, substr(content_en,1,200) AS content FROM extracted_memories WHERE encrypted = 0 AND (content_en LIKE '%keyword%' OR content_original LIKE '%keyword%') ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20;"
  • Search English content_en and original-language content_original
  • Use % wildcards for partial words (LIKE, not FTS)

Memories from the last N hours

sqlite3 -header -column ~/.abmind/memory/memory.db "SELECT id, memory_type, topic, substr(content_en,1,200) AS content FROM extracted_memories WHERE encrypted = 0 AND created_at > (strftime('%s','now') - 86400) * 1000 ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20;"

(86400 = 24h; use 3600 for 1h, 172800 for 48h)

Useful columns

Column Meaning
content_en English-normalized content
content_original As-spoken content
memory_type fact / preference / decision / event
classification 0 group, 1 personal, 2 confidential (3 = SECRET, sealed)
created_at / source_timestamp epoch ms
topic, emotion_tags metadata
recall_count how often recalled (popularity hint)
