recall-promote

recall-promote is a skill for Claude Code from jonny981/claude-tandem. It costs 36 tokens per session (274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving repeatedly observed project themes into a permanent MEMORY.md file. It checks recurrence records and existing memory before proposing additions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding themes that have appeared at least three times, checking whether they are already documented, and drafting permanent memory entries for user approval.
Why use it?
It helps recurring lessons remain available across sessions instead of being lost in temporary notes.

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-promote 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 12d 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 Promote

Review ~/.tandem/state/recurrence.json and the project MEMORY.md.

For each theme with count >= 3:

  1. Check if MEMORY.md already covers it
  2. If not, draft a [P1] entry with (observed: first_seen_date) capturing the theme's meaning
  3. Present proposed entries for user approval
  4. After approval, append to MEMORY.md

Output format

For each theme that needs promotion:

Theme: <slug> (count: N, first seen: YYYY-MM-DD)
Status: [already covered | needs promotion]
Proposed entry: [P1] <description> (observed: YYYY-MM-DD)

If all themes are already covered, report: "All recurring themes are represented in MEMORY.md."

Notes

  • Only promote themes, never demote existing [P1] entries
  • Use the theme slug's natural language form in the entry (e.g., "error-handling" becomes "error handling")
  • The (observed: date) should use the theme's first_seen date from recurrence.json

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.
