spectre: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/spectre-recall/SKILL.md

spectre-recall is a skill for Claude Code from joenandez/spectre. It costs 27 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-recall helper for searching and loading project learnings from Spectre, a system that stores reusable project knowledge and instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for a topic, recall a named learning, or list available knowledge by category.
Why use it?
It helps find existing guidance without manually reading the whole knowledge registry. If no matching learning exists, it can show what knowledge is available.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is joenandez/spectre's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on spectre itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything spectre configures →

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

spectre-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 11d 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

Recall Knowledge

Search and load relevant knowledge from the project's Spectre learnings into your context.

Registry

Spectre Knowledge Registry

Format: skill-name|category|triggers|description

feature-codex-spectre-implementation|feature|codex, spectre, codex install, project skills, registry, spectre-learn, spectre-recall, config.toml, doctor|Use when modifying the Codex SPECTRE install flow, project skill syncing, learn/recall registry files, or Codex-specific runtime files. release|workflow|release, version bump, changelog, github release, npm publish, codex sync, local codex install|Run the Spectre release workflow, including version bumps, Codex sync, local Codex install verification, GitHub release, and npm publish.

How to Use

  1. Scan available skills in your context — trigger keywords are visible in each skill's description
  2. Load matching skills: Skill({skill-name})
  3. Apply knowledge — use it to guide your approach

The registry above is a fallback reference. Discovery relies on each installed skill's frontmatter description.

Search Commands

  • /recall {query} — search registry for matches
  • /recall — show all available knowledge by category

Workflow

Single match → Load automatically via Skill({skill-name})

Multiple matches → List options, ask user which to load

No matches → Suggest /learn to capture new knowledge

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.
