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
