name	total-recall
description	Memory preservation for Claude Code sessions. Use when approaching token limits, needing to /reset or /compact, switching between complex tasks, or preserving critical session state before context loss. Creates comprehensive memory dumps at /tmp/total-recall containing current state, decisions, artifacts, and next steps for seamless context restoration.

Total Recall - Context Preservation for Claude Code

Quick Start

When you need to preserve session context before /reset or /compact:

# Save current session context
/total-recall

This creates a memory dump at /tmp/total-recall containing:

• Current work state and project context
• Key decisions and rationale
• Generated files and artifacts with paths
• Next steps and action items
• Important technical notes and constraints

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Approaching token limits (Context left until auto-compact: 0%)
• Need to /reset but can't afford to lose state
• Switching between multiple complex tasks
• Building up conversation history debt
• Working on multi-step tasks with critical state
