Remembering Conversations

Remembering Conversations is a skill for Claude Code from obra/superpowers-skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to search archived Claude Code conversations for earlier facts, decisions, patterns, or related problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps revisit earlier decisions, investigate similar bugs, and find previously discussed architecture or coding patterns.
Why use it?
Important context from past discussions can be difficult to find or may be recreated unnecessarily. Searching previous conversations can recover that information before new work begins.

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

Remembering Conversations 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (tool/migrate-to-config.sh, tool/src/db.test.ts, tool/src/db.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Remembering Conversations

Search archived conversations using semantic similarity or exact text matching.

Core principle: Search before reinventing.

Announce: "I'm searching previous conversations for [topic]."

Setup: See INDEXING.md

When to Use

Search when:

  • Your human partner mentions "we discussed this before"
  • Debugging similar issues
  • Looking for architectural decisions or patterns
  • Before implementing something familiar

Don't search when:

  • Info in current conversation
  • Question about current codebase (use Grep/Read)

In-Session Use

Always use subagents (50-100x context savings). See skills/using-skills for workflow.

Manual/CLI use: Direct search (below) for humans outside Claude Code sessions.

Direct Search (Manual/CLI)

Tool: ${SUPERPOWERS_SKILLS_ROOT}/skills/collaboration/remembering-conversations/tool/search-conversations

Modes:

search-conversations "query"              # Vector similarity (default)
search-conversations --text "exact"       # Exact string match
search-conversations --both "query"       # Both modes

Flags:

--after YYYY-MM-DD    # Filter by date
--before YYYY-MM-DD   # Filter by date
--limit N             # Max results (default: 10)
--help                # Full usage

Examples:

# Semantic search
search-conversations "React Router authentication errors"

# Find git SHA
search-conversations --text "a1b2c3d4"

# Time range
search-conversations --after 2025-09-01 "refactoring"

Returns: project, date, conversation summary, matched exchange, similarity %, file path.

For details: Run search-conversations --help

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.
