Q: How do I install recall in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add BetaBots-LLC/callimachus --skill recall -a claude-code`. The skill file is at `~/.claude/skills/recall/SKILL.md`.

Q: Does recall require the Callimachus MCP server?

The skill uses the `callimachus` MCP server when connected. Otherwise, it can use the `cal` CLI if the app is installed.

What recall does

The skill searches the user's Callimachus index for past discussions, decisions, pitfalls, and unfinished tasks. Search can be limited to the current repository or span projects. It can also answer a question using cited sessions or find earlier conversations that mentioned a file.

When the callimachus MCP server is connected, recall uses its tools to read and update Callimachus memory. Saved decisions and pitfalls can then surface in later searches. If MCP is unavailable, the skill can fall back to the cal CLI when the app is installed. Search needs one of those connections; without either, recall has no way to query the history.

What it helps with

recover a decision made in an earlier session
find earlier work related to a new task
trace past discussions about a file
surface known pitfalls and unfinished project tasks

Example prompts for the agent

Find the earlier decision about our authentication approach.
Search past sessions for mentions of embed/mod.rs.
Before changing this design, check the project's saved decisions and pitfalls.
