memories-recall-verify

memories-recall-verify is a skill for Claude Code from mahmoudimus/simba. It costs 42 tokens per session (674 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memory-checking skill helps an agent verify stored facts before answering questions about earlier decisions, preferences, or other remembered information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking recalled details about a specific person, project, decision, or other stored fact before using them in an answer.
Why use it?
It reduces wrong answers caused by conflicting, unclear, incomplete, or mismatched memories, and requires the agent to admit when the information is insufficient.

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

memories-recall-verify 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Self-Correcting Recall

Use this when you are about to answer a question whose answer depends on stored memory (preferences, decisions, facts, "what did we decide about X"), and the memories you have are ambiguous, conflicting, or incomplete. The goal is to ground the answer in the right memory — not the first plausible one — and to admit when memory doesn't contain the answer.

Step 1 — Recall

simba memory recall "<the user's question, as a statement>"

Each line is: <id> [<TYPE>] (<similarity>) <content>.

Step 2 — Detect a problem

Inspect the recalled set and decide whether you can answer directly. You cannot yet if any of these hold:

  • Ambiguous reference — the question names a generic thing ("the API key", "the staging DB", "the meeting") and the memories describe multiple distinct instances of it. You must not blend facts across instances.
  • Conflicting values — two memories give different values for the same attribute of the same subject.
  • Scope mismatch — the memories are about a different target than the one asked about (right attribute, wrong entity).
  • Insufficient — nothing recalled actually contains the asked-for value.

If none hold, answer directly from the recalled memory.

Step 3 — Re-query (the self-correction)

For an ambiguous or scope-mismatched result, run a narrower recall naming the specific entity and attribute:

simba memory recall "<specific entity> <attribute>"

Repeat once or twice with sharper terms. Broaden only if nothing returns:

simba memory recall --limit 8 "<broader phrasing>"

Step 4 — Resolve conflicts by recency

When two memories conflict, prefer the fresher one:

  • Recalled context tags the most recently created memory with recency="newest" and shows each memory's created date — prefer it.
  • For knowledge-graph facts, the currently-valid edge is the one with no valid_to; check with simba db facts (it prints occurred: event dates).

memories-recall-verify is a skill published in the GitHub repository mahmoudimus/simba (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 674 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
