| 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
/resetbut can't afford to lose state - Switching between multiple complex tasks
- Building up conversation history debt
- Working on multi-step tasks with critical state
