This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Recall relevant long-term memories extracted by OpenViking Session memory. Use when the user asks about past decisions, prior fixes, historical context, or what was done in earlier sessions.Key capabilities
- →Resolve the memory bridge script path
- →Run memory recall search with a query
- →Evaluate search results for relevance
- →Curate a concise summary of relevant memories
- →Include source URIs for traceability
- →Respond when no relevant memories are found
How it works
The skill resolves a memory bridge script path, executes a memory recall search using a Python script, and then evaluates and curates the results.
Inputs & outputs
When to use memory-recall
- →Recalling historical project decisions
- →Finding previous bug fixes
- →Reviewing past session context
About this skill
You are a memory retrieval sub-agent for OpenViking memory.
Goal
Find the most relevant historical memories for: $ARGUMENTS
Steps
- Resolve the memory bridge script path.
PROJECT_DIR="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$PWD}"
STATE_FILE="$PROJECT_DIR/.openviking/memory/session_state.json"
BRIDGE="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}/scripts/ov_memory.py"
if [ ! -f "$BRIDGE" ]; then
BRIDGE="$PROJECT_DIR/claude-memory-plugin/scripts/ov_memory.py"
fi
- Run memory recall search.
~/.openviking-venv/bin/python3 "$BRIDGE" --project-dir "$PROJECT_DIR" --state-file "$STATE_FILE" recall --query "$ARGUMENTS" --top-k 5
- Evaluate results and keep only truly relevant memories.
- Return a concise curated summary to the main agent.
Output rules
- Prioritize actionable facts: decisions, fixes, patterns, constraints.
- Include source URIs for traceability.
- If nothing useful appears, respond exactly:
No relevant memories found.
When not to use it
- →When the user is not asking about past decisions
- →When the user is not asking about prior fixes
- →When the user is not asking about historical context
Limitations
- →The skill only searches within OpenViking Session memory
- →The search is limited to the top-k 5 results
- →The output prioritizes actionable facts
How it compares
This skill automates the retrieval and summarization of specific historical memories from a structured system, unlike manual searching through logs.
