recall

recall is a skill for Claude Code from grpcer/ownmem. It costs 66 tokens per session (559 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for recalling project-specific notes stored as plain Markdown files in a repository's .ownmem directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project has OwnMem installed, when you wonder whether a problem happened before, or when you need memory about a path, symbol, or design choice.
Why use it?
It helps recover lessons from earlier debugging or implementation work before changing code, while reminding you to check those notes against the current code.

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 23d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OwnMem recall and daily use

OwnMem is this repository's local, deterministic memory. Recall runs offline — no model calls, no network, no query-time token cost — and every memory is plain Markdown inside the repository.

If the repository has no .ownmem/ directory, OwnMem is not installed here; use the init skill from this plugin first.

Recall before changing code

npx ownmem recall -- "problem, path, or symbol"

For natural-language symptoms, pass two or three phrasings in one call and let the deterministic fusion rank them:

npx ownmem recall --multi -- "symptom in plain words" "root-cause term" "english symbol"

Recall answers in one of three tiers, and reading them as the same thing is the one mistake that undoes the design:

  • content — the memory's own text. It passed every gate; use it, then verify against live code, because a memory records what was true when it was written.
  • pointers — up to three titles with the command that opens each one. This is not a short answer. Open the topic before you rely on anything in it.
  • abstain — nothing is written down about this, and the envelope says which gate refused. Not a search failure to retry with different words.

Do not implement memory logic here

This skill only routes to the CLI. Flags, feedback names, and contracts belong to the installed package, not to this plugin. Host plugins are optional shortcuts and do not auto-update on every host, so a stale copy of this file must not teach a retired protocol.

Use npx ownmem --help and npx ownmem <command> --help for the current surface. After a version bump, update the repository package and run npx ownmem init --update.

Keep the memory healthy

npx ownmem audit
npx ownmem report --since 7d
npx ownmem dashboard --open

Write a new memory only for lessons that reading the code cannot recover — upstream quirks, toolchain traps, timing races. Keep entries small and let npx ownmem audit enforce the growth quota.
