Claude Code loses all context when a session ends. To solve this, the author built 'recall' — a four-stage memory layer that captures session transcripts via hooks, nightly distills them into durable knowledge notes (~27x compression), injects a lightweight index at session start, and proposes recurring workflow patterns as skills for human review. After six weeks across six projects, it has captured 80+ sessions, distilled 70+ knowledge notes, and costs roughly $20/month to run. The system uses Claude Code hooks, bash, jq, launchd for scheduling, and a git-synced markdown vault — no servers or databases required.
