total-recall

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the critical problem of losing context in long or complex Claude Code sessions. When you hit token limits, need to /reset or /compact, or switch between tasks, Claude's memory can fade, forcing you to waste time re-establishing your work state. Total Recall ensures your session's "memory" is preserved, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Context Capture: Automatically creates a detailed "memory dump" of your current work state, key decisions, generated files (with paths), next steps, and important technical notes.
• Seamless Session Resumption: Easily restore your session's context after a /reset or /compact, or when returning to a project, eliminating the need to manually re-explain everything to Claude.
• Use Case: Imagine you're deep into a complex AWS infrastructure project with Claude, generating multiple Terraform files and making critical design decisions. Before you hit the token limit and need to /compact, invoke total-recall. Your entire session's state is saved. Later, after clearing your session, simply instruct Claude to read the saved dump, and it's instantly up to speed, ready to continue.

Quick Start

To save your current session's context:

/total-recall

This will create a comprehensive memory dump at /tmp/total-recall. To restore your session later, simply instruct Claude to read this file:

read /tmp/total-recall to resume

Claude will then be up to speed on your previous work.
