carryover

carryover is a skill for Claude Code from Cfvillarroel/carryover. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,545 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local memory and documentation layer shared by several coding tools. It stores facts, project wikis, reusable playbooks, workspace messages, and notes that can also be placed in an Obsidian vault.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recalling repository knowledge, saving important facts, using repeatable playbooks, maintaining project wikis, and sharing context across workspaces.
Why use it?
It lets coding sessions reuse relevant project context instead of reconstructing it from scratch each time.

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

carryover 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

carryover

carryover is a local, cross-tool memory layer: one SQLite store (~/.headroom/memory.db with headroom, else ~/.carryover/memory.db) shared by Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Hermes. It holds memories (facts + typed entities + relationships, indexed by repo), per-repo auto-wikis, !macro playbooks, a cross-workspace inbox, and materializes everything into an Obsidian vault.

Everything runs on this machine. No network, no telemetry.

What is already automatic

Once hermes/install-hermes.sh has run, two shell hooks do this without being asked:

  • pre_llm_call — on a session's first turn injects what carryover knows about the repo in cwd (its group) plus a few general facts; every turn it delivers pending workspace messages and expands any !playbook named in the prompt; after edits it raises the save-what-mattered prompt.
  • post_tool_call — flags the session as "files changed" after write_file / patch / terminal.

So do not run a recall command just to see the repo's context at the start of a session — it is already in your prompt. Reach for the commands below when you need more than that.

Recall

Need Do
Anything beyond the injected bullets co-recall "<query>" (this repo's group) · co-recall --all "<query>"
From an MCP client / another repo's knowledge the mcp_carryover_recall tool (repo arg scopes it; omit for all repos)
Structural questions — what links to X, hub entities, notes mentioning X and Y grep the vault, not the store: ~/Documents/carryover-vault/knowledge/*.md (frontmatter id/repo/entities) and entities/*.md ([[backlinks]])

Recall is semantic when headroom is installed, keyword otherwise (co-mem backend says which).

Saving

Prefer structured saves — each fact becomes its own searchable memory and the entities/relationships build the graph:

mem-save --json '{"content":"1-line summary",
                  "facts":["atomic, self-contained facts"],
                  "entities":[{"entity":"X","type":"project|tech|person|concept"}],
                  "relationships":[{"source":"X","relationship":"uses","destination":"Y"}],
                  "category":"area","tags":["…"],"importance":0.7}'
mem-save "plain text"          # when structuring isn't worth it

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.
