Full-text search over the recorded past: session reports, compiled notes, proposals, and the channel log. Use it whenever the operator asks what already happened — 'recall X', 'what did I learn/decide/figure out about X', 'when did we last touch X', 'did we ever discuss X', 'have we seen this error before', 'find that proposal about X', 'yesterday I asked you to X' — even when you could grep or Read .hermit/ yourself: this search also covers the channel-message database that file greps miss, ra…

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'recall' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'recall' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named recall already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/gtapps/hermitd' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c2d971ab801daa0725f1554f92e405e62f76a3e8' -- 'plugins/hermitd/skills/recall' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/hermitd/skills/recall' ~/.agents/skills/'recall' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'recall' ~/.claude/skills/'recall' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
