recall

recall is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/agent-capability-standard. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,569 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A memory lookup tool for finding earlier decisions, their reasoning, and learned patterns from the current session, project instructions, or broader stored memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Looking up past decisions, patterns, facts, and context, with optional filtering by memory scope, time range, relevance, and whether to include the reasoning.
Why use it?
It helps an agent keep its work consistent with earlier choices instead of repeating questions or making conflicting decisions.

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 1mo 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.

Intent

Execute recall to retrieve relevant prior decisions, rationale, and patterns from memory to maintain consistency and learn from past interactions.

Success criteria:

  • Relevant memories are retrieved based on query
  • Prior decisions and their rationale are surfaced
  • Consistency with past reasoning is maintained
  • Retrieved information is grounded with timestamps and context

Compatible schemas:

  • schemas/output_schema.yaml

Inputs

Parameter Required Type Description
query Yes string What to recall: topic, decision type, or pattern name
memory_scope No enum Where to search: session (current), project (CLAUDE.md), global (all). Default: project
time_range No object Filter by time: { after: "2024-01-01", before: "2024-01-31" }
include_rationale No boolean Whether to include decision rationale. Default: true
similarity_threshold No number Minimum relevance score (0.0-1.0). Default: 0.5

Procedure

  1. Parse query intent: Understand what is being recalled

    • Identify if query is about a decision, pattern, fact, or context
    • Extract key terms for memory search
    • Determine if exact match or semantic similarity needed
  2. Scope memory search: Identify which memory stores to query

    • session: Current conversation context
    • project: CLAUDE.md, knowledge files, local docs
    • global: All accessible memory stores
  3. Search memory stores: Query relevant sources

    • CLAUDE.md for project-level decisions and patterns
    • Session context for recent interactions
    • Knowledge files for domain-specific learnings
    • Use Grep for exact term matches, Read for context
  4. Rank by relevance: Score and filter results

    • Relevance to query terms
    • Recency (more recent = higher weight unless historical needed)
    • Authority (explicit decisions > implicit patterns)
    • Filter below similarity_threshold

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 synaptiai/agent-capability-standard (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,569 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
