Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.
Scaffold the Total Recall memory directory structure in this project.
Install
npx vskill@latest install davegoldblatt/total-recall/recall-initSKILL.md
Initialize the Total Recall memory system in this project.
What To Do
Create the following directory structure and files. If any already exist, skip them (do not overwrite).
Directory Structure
Plus at the project root:
CLAUDE.local.md— working memory (auto-loaded, gitignored)
CLAUDE.local.md (Working Memory)
If CLAUDE.local.md does not exist, create it:
Also add CLAUDE.local.md to .gitignore if not already there (it contains personal memory).
memory/SCHEMA.md
Create the full schema documentation that teaches Claude how the memory system works. Include:
- The four-tier architecture (daily logs → registers → working memory → archive)
- Write gate rules ("Does this change future behavior?")
- Read rules (what's auto-loaded vs on-demand)
- Routing table (triggers and destinations)
- Contradiction protocol (never silently overwrite, mark superseded)
- Correction handling (highest priority writes, propagate to all tiers)
- Maintenance cadences (immediate, end-of-session, periodic, quarterly)
- Note that working memory is in CLAUDE.local.md (auto-loaded) and protocol is in .claude/rules/total-recall.md (auto-loaded)
Register Templates
Create each register file with its header and empty structure. Each should have a descriptive comment explaining when it gets loaded and what belongs in it.
memory/registers/_index.md
Today's Daily Log
Create memory/daily/[today's date].md with the daily log template.
