| description | Recall past decisions and learnings from the WikiBrain memory vault — across all projects, its archive, and git history. Use when the user asks what they decided/learned/know about something, whether they've hit a problem before, or to search their memory. |

VAULT = the repo this skill lives in (resolve the ~/.claude/skills/wikibrain-recall symlink; default ~/personal/WikiBrain). It holds every project's memory — search the whole vault; the current project is just one slug among all of them.
Work down the recall ladder until the question is answered:
- Active —
grep -ril "<term>" "$VAULT/memory" — current facts, indexed per project in MEMORY.md.
- Archive —
grep -ril "<term>" "$VAULT/archive" — compacted-out facts, true at the time they were archived.
- History —
git -C "$VAULT" log -S "<term>" --oneline then git show — content that was rewritten or deleted.
Try synonyms and related terms on each rung before moving past it. Done when every claim in the answer cites its source — file path (rungs 1–2) or commit (rung 3) — or all three rungs came up empty, which is itself the answer: it isn't in memory.
A fact that surfaced only on rung 2–3 but matters again is a candidate for re-promotion: offer to write it back as an active memory (format per GUIDELINES.md).
