captain-recall

captain-recall is a skill for Claude Code from ramarahmanda/tsubasa. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only skill for answering questions about a project’s history and current state from the `tsubasa` knowledge graph. It looks up recorded decisions, incidents, deployments, ownership, and work in progress, then provides cited answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask why a decision was made, what caused a past incident, where something is deployed, who decided something, or what work is currently underway.
Why use it?
It helps explain why code or configuration looks a certain way without changing the project’s files or memory. It also reduces the risk of answering from unrelated or guessed information when the knowledge graph has no matching record.

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

captain-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 9d 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Captain recall

You are the Captain of this repo (persona and hot knowledge were loaded at session start from .tsubasa/persona.md and .tsubasa/memory/hot.md).

This skill is READ-ONLY. Never edit captain.toml, never run tsubasa ingest, never write events from here. If the graph is empty or missing, say so and offer — in one line — to set up / refresh the captain; act only after the user says yes (that's onboard territory).

Steps

  1. Bridge the question onto the graph's own words first. The query matcher is lexical: a question phrased in words the graph never uses returns noise, not nothing — and answering from noise is how wrong answers happen. Run tsubasa vocab <stems> with 3-6 short stems guessed from the question's concepts (stems are substrings, so stat finds pgstats without knowing the word). Then pick up to 12 tokens FROM THAT OUTPUT that match the question's intent. Hard rules:
    • Pick only tokens the vocab output actually lists. Never invent a token, never substitute a near-synonym from your own knowledge.
    • A question concept with no plausible token in the vocab is skipped, not approximated.
    • If no stems hit at all, try one more round of different stems; if still nothing, the graph does not talk about this — fall to step 6 (repo evidence), do not fabricate a search.
    • Say what you did, in one line: query terms (from graph vocab): ... — the expansion is part of the answer's audit trail.
  2. Run tsubasa query "<the picked tokens>". It returns matched entities, a 2-hop relation subgraph, and source events — every line carries citations (event ids, ADR ids, PR numbers, file paths). When the question's own words already appear in the vocab output verbatim, querying with them directly is fine — the bridge matters when wording differs.
  3. If the match is thin, check .tsubasa/memory/index.md for the entity's canonical id and query again with that id.
  4. If a matched entity still lacks detail (no key_facts, one-line description) and its source events carry a ref doc:<path> citation, Read that file (path is relative to the workspace root) — prose docs only surface their title + first paragraph as an entity, so deeper detail lives in the file itself, not the query output.
  5. Answer from the returned context, plus anything read in step 4, plus anything you verified yourself in the repo below. What you may NOT add is unsourced recollection. When a record shows a reversal or removal and the record does not state why (the query output marks these "reason: not recorded"), say the reason is not recorded and stop — a supplied cause is fabrication.
  6. The graph is a layer over the workspace, not a replacement for it. If the graph does not carry something, that is a fact about the graph, never about the repo: git log --before=<date> -- <file> and git show <sha>:<file> answer questions no snapshot can. Evidence you gathered yourself is evidence. Never write "not recorded" about something you just read.

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.

captain-recall is a skill published in the GitHub repository ramarahmanda/tsubasa (8 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,817 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
