skarn-recall

skarn-recall is a skill for Claude Code from skarn-security/agent-guard. It costs 123 tokens per session (2,063 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local-session recall workflow that reconstructs what was done in earlier AI coding sessions using their stored metadata and transcripts. It can organize that history into summaries such as standups, handovers, or timesheets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find sessions related to a project or topic, summarize completed work, prepare a handover or standup, or report token and cost statistics.
Why use it?
Past coding work can be spread across many sessions and difficult to reconstruct from memory. This searches the local session records while keeping exported content redacted.

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

skarn-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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

skarn-recall

Reconstruct what the user worked on from the AI coding session transcripts already on this machine. Answer from session metadata wherever the question can be answered from metadata, and pull transcript content only when it cannot.

Install check

Confirm the binary resolves before running any step:

command -v skarn

If it does not resolve, tell the user how to install it and stop:

brew install skarn-security/tap/skarn
npm install -g @skarn-security/skarn

Other platforms: https://getskarn.com/install/

Guarantees

  • Local. Once skarn is installed, every skarn command below runs on this machine and makes no network call. Installing it is the one step that reaches the network.
  • Read-only. None of these commands writes to a session store.
  • Redacted, on the export path only. skarn export masks every credential skarn detects before it writes content out, and this skill only ever uses that default: it never turns the mask off, and it never asks the user to. skarn cmds masks nothing at all; see the data boundary below.
  • No license needed. Every skarn command below runs without a registered license.

Data boundary

Say this to the user before the first command that reads transcript content, and again in the answer that uses it.

Session metadata (ids, projects, branches, models, tool and token counts, timestamps) describes the work without reproducing it. Transcript content is the work itself, and everything you read leaves this machine for the model provider serving you. Redaction masks the credentials skarn detects; it does not mask everything the user would consider sensitive, and it does not mask what a colleague, a client name or an unreleased plan reveals.

Two commands below return transcript content, not metadata, and they sit on opposite sides of the mask. skarn export redacts by default. skarn cmds does NOT: it returns each shell command exactly as it was run, so a credential passed as an argument, a signed URL, an internal hostname or a customer name in a path reaches you verbatim. Treat its output as raw transcript.

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.
