What Memory Recall does

Memory Recall searches and recalls relevant memories from past sessions so an agent can use historical context when answering. Use it when a question could benefit from past decisions, debugging notes, previous conversations, or project knowledge.

Memory Recall is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Memory Recall comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-memory, ai-agents, claude-code and claude-code-plugin.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

You have three memory tools for progressive recall. Start with search, go deeper only when needed.

Tools (use progressively)

1. memory_search — Start here

Semantic search across all past conversation memories.

Returns: chunk summaries with dates, topics, chunk_hash identifiers
Use for: "What did we discuss about X?", "Have I asked about Y before?"

2. memory_get — When search results aren't detailed enough

Expands a specific chunk_hash to show the full markdown section with surrounding context.

Input: chunk_hash from memory_search results
Returns: full section text, may include transcript anchors ()
Use for: "Show me the details", "I need more context on that result"

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
