Install Total Recall so Claude Code keeps synthesized memory of decisions and learnings across sessions instead of starting from a blank context each time.

What it does
Total Recall is a Claude Code plugin that implements an enforced synthesis-first memory system for builders who run multi-session agent work on real products. Instead of relying on whatever happens to stay in the context window, it is meant to capture decisions, learnings, and working context in a structured way and bring them back with progressive disclosure so each new session starts from accumulated understanding rather than zero. Solo and indie developers shipping with Claude Code benefit when a feature spans days or weeks, when architectural choices must stay consistent, or when you rotate between validate, build, and operate tasks without re-explaining the same constraints. The plugin is not a generic notes app; it is agent-oriented memory wired into the Claude plugin model. Install it when you want continuity comparable to a lightweight project brain for the agent, with synthesis as the gate before anything is remembered. Pair it with your normal skills and MCP tools; Total Recall addresses the cross-session gap those tools usually do not solve on their own.
Highlights
- Enforced synthesis-first memory: compress raw chat into durable summaries before storage
- Captures decisions, learnings, and context across Claude Code sessions
- Progressive disclosure so the agent surfaces relevant memory without dumping full history
- Single-plugin bundle (pluginCount: 1) focused on Total Recall behavior
- Community plugin aligned with disclosure-style memory keywords from the repo metadata
Why builders use it
Every new Claude Code session forgets your prior decisions unless you manually re-paste context or repeat explanations.
After you register Total Recall, the agent can recall synthesized memory from earlier work so iteration continues from established decisions instead of from scratch.
