Recall relevant memory for the current task using the MemWal MCP tool.

What it does

Memory Recall is an agent skill from Ghost-xDD/memforks. Recall relevant memory for the current task using the MemWal MCP tool. Use when the user asks about prior decisions, past context, or what you remember.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. The repository describes itself as: Git for AI agent memory.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about prior decisions
  • What you remember

Example prompts

  • “/memory-recall”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 314b207. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Memory Recall loads about 444 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~444

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 156 words (~444 tokens).

“Memory is stored via the MemWal MCP server — use memwal_recall directly as a tool call. Do not run memfork recall from the shell; the MCP tool is faster and context-aware.”
