recall

recall is a skill for Codex from roarista/awesome-harness. It costs 82 tokens per session (629 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for retrieving saved project or personal context from durable memory instead of searching through many Markdown files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search global memory and, when available, repository memory for a topic, then inspect the most relevant record and its linked information.
Why use it?
It helps an agent quickly find earlier decisions, facts, and related records before starting work or making a proposal.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

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 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

recall — fast memory retrieval

Step 1 of THE PROCEDURE (~/.codex/AGENTS.md). Two stores, two CLIs, both plain command-line tools a Codex session can run directly.

Global memory — memgraph

python3 ~/.claude/tools/memgraph/mem.py query "<topic>" [-k N]   # full-text search, ranked — your main verb
python3 ~/.claude/tools/memgraph/mem.py graph <name>             # a record's neighbors (links, supersedes)
python3 ~/.claude/tools/memgraph/mem.py list [--type user|feedback|project|reference]
python3 ~/.claude/tools/memgraph/mem.py rebuild                  # refresh the index after memory files change

The index lives next to the script (~/.claude/tools/memgraph/out/), which is why the path points there even from a Codex session — there is one index, shared. If out/memindex.sqlite is missing, run python3 ~/.claude/tools/memgraph/build.py first.

Flow: query → read the top hit's name/description/path → Read the file only if the record is load-bearing → optionally graph <name> to pull the one linked record you need.

Per-repo memory — mulch

In a repo with .mulch/:

ml prime            # load the repo's records at the start of substantive work
ml search "<topic>" # targeted lookup

ml is at ~/.npm-global/bin/ml. If it is not on PATH, call it by that full path.

Session ritual

  • Before planning substantive work: query the task's topic in both stores. Load the specific decisions and failure modes that apply.
  • Before proposing something new: query it first — avoid re-deciding what is already recorded, and avoid building what already exists.
  • At the close: if a durable lesson emerged, record it (compact-prep step 2), then mem.py rebuild if you wrote a global memory file.

Guardrails

  • Read budget: ≤5 file reads per recall. Hop card-by-card (query → top hit → one graph hop). If 5 reads have not answered it, narrow the query rather than widening the reads.
  • Retrieval is read-only. Never mutate a memory record as a side effect of a query.
  • Dangling [[name]] links are expected — they mark a not-yet-written record, signal rather than error.

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 roarista/awesome-harness (1 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 629 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
