recall-session

recall-session is a skill for Claude Code from tobihagemann/turbo. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for finding the transcript of an earlier Claude Code session and explaining what it changed and why. It can search from a commit, file and line, reviewer question, uncommitted passage or another project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer reviewer questions, explain a commit or line, and recover decisions from a past session.
Why use it?
It recovers context that is easy to lose after a coding session, especially when someone asks about an old change.

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-session 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/find_transcript.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Recall Session

Locate the Claude Code transcript behind a change, a passage, or another project's session, and recover what that session did and why. Useful for answering reviewer questions, writing post-hoc explanations, or recovering forgotten context.

Inputs

Accept any of:

  • A commit SHA
  • A file path, optionally with a line number (<path>:<line>)
  • A reviewer question plus surrounding context (file and line)
  • A passage with no commit behind it, because the project is not a git repository or the change is uncommitted
  • Another project's session to check, named by its directory

If only a file is given, git blame resolves the commit that last touched the line.

Step 1: Locate the Transcript

Call ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/find_transcript.py with either --commit <sha> or --file <path>[:<line>]. Pass --cwd /path/to/repo when searching a different repo than the current working directory.

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/find_transcript.py --file <path>:<line>
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/find_transcript.py --commit <sha>

When there is no commit to resolve, because the project is not a git repository or --file returns no-commit for an uncommitted line, run --phrase with a distinctive stretch of the passage's current text, taken from a single line, instead. It skips git, ranks the project's transcripts by how often they handle the phrase, and returns the same JSON with commit: null.

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/find_transcript.py --phrase "<distinctive text from the passage>"

For another project's session, run --phrase with --cwd <dir>, taking a phrase distinctive to that session, such as a command it ran or a file path it touched.

With --commit or --file, the script:

  1. Resolves the commit via git rev-parse or git blame
  2. Enumerates directories under the effective Claude configuration home's projects/ tree and filters their transcripts by authoritative cwd records, covering path encoding, truncation, collisions, and subdirectory launches
  3. Ranks candidate transcripts whose mtime is within --window-days of the commit (default 14)
  4. Scores candidates by mentions of touched files and tool-use edits on them
  5. Extracts cleaned user prompts and substantive assistant text from the top candidates

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
