claude-recall: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/memory-management/SKILL.md

memory-management is a skill for Claude Code from raoulbia-ai/claude-recall. It costs 61 tokens per session (2,612 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent memory system for Claude that stores rules and lessons between conversations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load general rules, search for guidance about a particular file or topic, and save or remove learned instructions.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated mistakes by reminding the assistant about established preferences, conventions, and earlier corrections before it starts work or changes files.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: UserPromptSubmit hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is raoulbia-ai/claude-recall's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-recall itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-recall configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

memory-management 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 12d 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.

Memory Management

Persistent memory system that ensures Claude never repeats mistakes and always applies learned patterns across conversations.

4 Tools

  • mcp__claude-recall__load_rules - Load all active rules before starting work. No query needed.
  • mcp__claude-recall__store_memory - Store a rule or learning. Immediately active in this conversation.
  • mcp__claude-recall__search_memory - Search memories by keyword. Use to find specific memories before making decisions.
  • mcp__claude-recall__delete_memory - Delete a specific memory by ID. Use search_memory first to find the ID.

When to Use

Loading (Recall)

  • First action of every session — Call load_rules before ANY tool call, including Read/Glob/Grep. Rules must inform exploration, not just editing.
  • After context compression — If context was compressed or conversation is long, call load_rules again. Earlier rules may have been lost.
  • Switching task areas — When moving from one domain to another (e.g., tests → database → CI), call search_memory with the new area as query.
  • Before modifying a file — Call search_memory with the file path or module name to check for file-specific conventions.

Storing (Capture)

  • When user corrects your work - Call store_memory with metadata.type: "correction"
  • When user mentions preferences - Call store_memory with metadata.type: "preference"
  • After overcoming a challenge - Call store_memory with metadata.type: "failure"
  • DevOps/workflow rules - Call store_memory with metadata.type: "devops"

Key Directives

  1. ALWAYS load rules before acting — Call load_rules as your very first action in a session, before even reading files. Rules inform how you explore, not just how you edit.
  2. ACT on loaded rules — After loading, state which rules apply to your current task before proceeding. If a rule conflicts with your plan, follow the rule. If none apply, say so. Loading without applying is the same as not loading.
  3. Cite applied rules inline — When a rule influences your work: (applied from memory: ). Place the citation next to the action it influenced, not at the end of unrelated text.
  4. User says "recall" / "remember" / "store this" → use Claude Recall — When the user says any of these keywords, ALWAYS use mcp__claude-recall__store_memory. Do NOT write to the native memory directory (~/.claude/projects/*/memory/) for these requests. Claude Recall is the user's preferred memory system.
  5. Ask before storing — Before calling store_memory, tell the user what you plan to store and ask for confirmation
  6. Capture corrections immediately — User fixes are highest priority (still ask first)
  7. Never store secrets — No API keys, passwords, tokens, or PII

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.
