recall-knowledge

recall-knowledge is a skill for Claude Code from LevNas/ccmemo. It costs 126 tokens per session (709 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-base search tool that finds notes by meaning as well as exact words, including related links and different wording or languages. A knowledge base is a collection of stored notes, decisions, and context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve earlier decisions, pitfalls, or context, and to trace connections between related entries.
Why use it?
It can find relevant prior information when the search terms do not match the wording used in the 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-knowledge 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 25d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recall Knowledge

Goal

Surface the most relevant knowledge entries for a query by meaning — bridging synonyms and cross-language wording (e.g. Japanese ↔ English identifiers) that literal keyword search misses.

When to Use

  • Searching the knowledge base for prior art, decisions, pitfalls, or related context
  • The query may be worded differently than the entries (synonyms, JA query vs EN identifiers)
  • Before starting work on a topic, to pull related accumulated knowledge
  • NOT for per-prompt automatic injection — that stays ripgrep via the existing userpromptsubmit_knowledge_search.sh hook (instant, no model load)

Summary First, Then One Entry

Run the search with --summary: each hit shows its title, its description (the trigger condition — when to open it) and its typed links with the labels their authors wrote. Choose the single entry to Read from that; do not open several candidates to compare them. Details in the procedure file.

Structure First for Multi-Hop Questions

When the recall looks like it needs several hops — tracing how a decision evolved, asking how two topics connect, or mapping everything around an entry — do NOT chain search → read → follow links → read again. Query the link graph first (kb_graph.py neighborhood / path), pick the endpoints from the structure (IDs + titles only), and Read just those entries. Details in the procedure file.

Execution (run directly — do NOT delegate to a subagent)

IMPORTANT: hybrid search executes code (uv run a Python script). Subagents run in a sandbox that blocks code execution, networking, and out-of-cwd writes, so this skill runs from the MAIN agent's Bash — do NOT spawn an Agent for the search itself.

  1. Read the procedure file at: {plugin_root}/skills/recall-knowledge/procedure.md
  2. Follow it: resolve paths, decide hybrid vs ripgrep-fallback, run the search, present the ranked results, and Read the top entries when their content is needed for the answer.

Paths:

  • Knowledge base: {project_root}/.claude/knowledge/
  • Search script: {plugin_root}/scripts/kb_search.py
  • Index builder: {plugin_root}/scripts/kb_index.py (only to advise building the index)
  • Graph CLI: {plugin_root}/scripts/kb_graph.py (pure stdlib — needs neither uv nor the index)

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.

recall-knowledge is a skill published in the GitHub repository LevNas/ccmemo (4 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 709 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
