remember

remember is a skill for Claude Code from hatawong/claude-recap. It costs 50 tokens per session (515 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for saving a user preference, rule, or fact in REMEMBER.md so it can be used in later sessions. It supports either global memory or memory limited to the current project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone says to remember a preference or constraint, such as which package manager to use or what coding rule to follow.
Why use it?
It prevents useful instructions from being forgotten between sessions. It also makes the scope of a saved preference explicit.

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

remember 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

remember

Overview

Saves a user preference, constraint, or fact to REMEMBER.md so it persists across sessions. The user chooses scope (global or project).

When to Use

  • User explicitly says "remember...", "always...", "never...", "don't forget..."
  • User states a clear preference or constraint worth persisting (e.g., "I use bun not npm")
  • User provides identity or context info they'd want every session to know

Instructions

  1. Distill what the user wants to remember into one concise line (imperative form, no filler).

    • Good: "Use bun instead of npm for all package management"
    • Bad: "The user mentioned they prefer bun over npm and would like us to always use it"
  2. Ask the user which scope using AskUserQuestion:

Which scope should this apply to?
- Global: applies to all projects
- Project: applies only to this project
  1. Get the plugin scripts path from the SessionStart injection in your context: Plugin scripts path: /path/to/scripts

  2. Run the remember script:

bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/remember.sh" "<scope>" "<content>"

Where:

  • plugin_scripts_path: the path from SessionStart injection
  • scope: global or project
  • content: the distilled one-liner (quote it properly for shell)

Rules

  • One entry per invocation — don't batch multiple items
  • Distill to a clear imperative statement, not a description of what happened
  • If the user's intent is ambiguous, ask for clarification before writing
  • Do NOT remember session-specific or temporary information (e.g., "I'm debugging auth today")

Examples

User says Distilled entry
"Remember I always use bun" Use bun instead of npm for package management
"Never auto-commit without asking" Never auto-commit; always ask before committing
"My name is Alex" User's name is Alex
"For this project, always run tests with --verbose" Run tests with --verbose flag (project scope)

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.
