quarry-recall from punt-labs/quarry is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add punt-labs/quarry/quarry-recall@git:20260921.5e31962Pins git:20260921.5e31962 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Retrieve what quarry already knows before researching from scratch or guessing. Covers three overlapping intents, one tool: understand code ("how does X work", "where is X defined", "what calls X"); recall project knowledge or a decision ("what did we decide about X", "why is it this way", "did we consider Y instead"); and recall memory, yours or a teammate's ("what did I learn about X", "any gotchas with X", "have we hit this before"). Backed by `quarry find`, which fuses vector similarity…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Quarry Recall
`quarry find` answers "has anyone already figured this out." Reach for it
before spending a WebSearch/WebFetch call, and before answering a
why/how/what-did-we-decide question from memory alone.
## Recognize the trigger
- **Understand code.** "How does X work", "where is X defined", "what calls
X", "explain this module."
- **Recall project knowledge.** "What did we decide about X", "why is it
built this way", "did we already try Y."
- **Recall memory.** "What did I learn about X", "any gotchas here", "has a
teammate hit this before."
All three are the same tool with different scope — pick the flags, not a
different command.
## Run it
```sh
quarry find "<natural-language question>"
```
Natural language beats keywords ("what did we decide about retry limits"
outperforms "retry limits"). Confirm the exact flag set with `quarry find
--help` before relying on one not shown here — flags are the live contract,
this skill is not.
Scope the search to match the intent:
- Everything indexed: `quarry find "query"` (no scope flags).
- Only your own memories: `quarry find "query" --agent-handle <your-handle>`.

How to install
mdr add punt-labs/quarry/quarry-recall@sha256:5a49989051827f8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.5e31962, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
