Makes every conversation your team has had with AI coding assistants searchable, and flags secrets leaked into those chats.
chat-recall collects what AI coding assistants have already written on your machine — chats, plans, task lists and notes across five supported tools — and turns them into one searchable history with full-text search, a knowledge graph, and notes. Setup is a single command (npx chat-recall init), and the first three steps run locally: it reads the assistant transcripts, strips credentials before anything leaves the computer, and assembles the unified history. Beyond search, it scans that history for leaked API keys and passwords, reporting each key it found, whether it still works, and how many conversations it appeared in, with only the last few characters ever visible to the service. It also derives a ranked action plan and turns recurring bugs into tasks that close themselves once the underlying problem is gone, and distributes skills and MCP configuration so a new laptop or a newly adopted assistant inherits your whole setup. The recall tools are exposed through an MCP server, so assistants themselves can query the history.
