recall

recall is a skill for Claude Code from TheWinci/mimirs. It costs 77 tokens per session (241 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-history lookup for understanding why a coding decision was made. It searches commits, saved checkpoints, and past conversations for the reasoning, alternatives, and timing behind a change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking why a decision was made, what was tried and rejected, when a change happened, or whether an earlier direction should be reversed.
Why use it?
It answers the intent behind existing code instead of only describing how the code works. This helps avoid undoing a deliberate choice when changing or revisiting the project.

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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Recall

Goal: find the reasoning and history behind code, not just the code.

  1. Why it changedsearch_commits "<topic/decision>" for the commits that explain a change and the intent behind it; file_history <file> for how a specific file evolved.
  2. Decisions madesearch_checkpoints "<topic>" for recorded decisions, milestones, and direction changes.
  3. Discussionsearch_conversation "<topic>" for the back-and-forth that led to a choice, including alternatives considered.

Finish: state the decision/history with its source (commit hash, checkpoint, or session) so the answer is traceable. If the history shows a deliberate choice, surface it — don't silently undo it.

Changes

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.
