recall

A session-memory tool with date browsing, keyword search, cross-session synthesis, and specific-file loading modes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find what you did on a given day, retrieve a past memo, understand why a decision was made, or compare patterns across projects.
Why use it?
It helps recover earlier work and decisions instead of relying on memory or repeating investigations.

Getting it into your agent

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 2d 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.

Recall: Retrieving Session Memory

Context

Project: !basename $(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed 's/\.git$//' | xargs basename 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null || basename $(pwd) Vault: !sqlite3 "$(memex path --index 2>/dev/null)" "SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fts_content) || ' documents indexed'" 2>/dev/null || echo "(index unavailable)"


Step 0: Classify the Query

Before doing anything, classify the user's question into one of four modes:

TEMPORAL — date-based browsing

Triggers: "yesterday", "last week", "today", "what did I do on Monday", "show me recent work", "last 3 days", "this week's sessions", any date reference without topic keywords.

Action: Go to → Temporal Recall

KEYWORD — topic/decision lookup

Triggers: "why did we...", "find the memo about...", "what was the decision on...", "remind me about the retry pattern", any question with specific technical terms or project names.

Action: Go to → Keyword Recall

DEEP — cross-project synthesis

Triggers: "what patterns do we use across...", "how has our approach to X evolved...", "compare how we handle X in different projects", questions spanning multiple sessions or projects, complex why/how questions needing synthesis.

Action: Go to → Deep Recall

LOAD — direct file retrieval

Triggers: "load the X topic", "pull up project Y", "show me the memo about Z", explicit topic or memo names, "what does the X topic say".

Action: Go to → Load Recall

If mixed (date + topic, e.g., "what auth work did I do last week"): Start with TEMPORAL to narrow the date range, then scan the results for the topic.


Temporal Recall

Run the temporal scanner to browse sessions and memos by date:

memex timeline "<date-expression>"

With project filter:

memex timeline "<date-expression>" --project=<name>

Filter by type:

memex timeline "<date-expression>" --type=memo

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository linxule/memex-plugin (7 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,795 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.
