The standard skill teaches your agent the core retain and recall protocol. Recall skills go a step further: each one is tuned for a specific question you ask your memory, so the agent reaches for the right kind of recall without you spelling out how. Ask your agent to “catch me up on this week” or “what am I blocked on” and the matching skill fires, scopes the recall correctly, and gives you a focused answer instead of a raw memory dump.
Recall skills are currently Claude Code only. The standard skill remains the cross-platform one. More platforms will follow.

The skills

SkillFires when you askWhat it gives you
recap”catch me up”, “what did I work on this week”, “what’s been going on”, “daily summary”A narrative of what happened in a time window.
decisions”what did we decide”, “why did we pick X”, “what calls did I make”, “what was resolved”The choices made in a window, with rationale.
actionables”what’s pending”, “what do I need to do”, “my open items”, “what should I work on”Forward-looking open tasks and stated priorities that you own.
blockers”what am I blocked on”, “what’s waiting on someone”, “what’s stuck”, “what’s on hold”Items that can’t proceed and what or who each one waits on.
prep”prep me for my call with Acme”, “what’s the context for the topic sync”, “brief me before the standup”Topic-scoped context for an upcoming meeting, pulled regardless of age.
Each skill knows when to defer to another. recap covers the past as a narrative; decisions narrows to choices and why; actionables is future work you own; blockers is work stuck on someone else; prep is forward-facing context for a specific topic. The agent picks the closest fit automatically.

​
How to get them

Recall skills ship inside the xysq plugin for Claude Code. If you’ve already connected Claude Code through the plugin, pull the latest version: 
/plugin update xysq
Then start a new session. Claude Code loads the skills, and they activate on the trigger phrases above. If you haven’t installed the plugin yet, follow the Connect your agent flow first (the Claude Code path installs the plugin), then run /plugin update xysq to make sure you’re on the latest.
The standard xysq skill and the recall skills all ship in the same plugin, so a single /plugin update xysq keeps every one of them current.

​
Verifying they loaded

Inside Claude Code, run /skills. Alongside xysq you should see recap, decisions, actionables, blockers, and prep in the list. If they’re missing, run /plugin update xysq and start a fresh session. You can also ask any connected agent to read the live catalog through the skill_catalog tool, which returns the current skill set and the platforms each one supports.
