Deep Recall archive: start bots fresh without losing chat history
Bots can't delete chat, so every wake re-reads a growing history and burns tokens.
What hurt
@32Bridger explains a word-for-word Deep Recall archive (day files, topic files, INDEX.md), lookup via index → Bloodhound search → Librarian helper, and a 5-step Renew handoff so a fresh bot keeps history without loading it all. Kit path and hand steps are in the Article. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Archive word-for-word → index-only on wake → Bloodhound → Librarian → Renew with handoff.
Bots
Main bot
Reads only INDEX.md and handoff; uses Bloodhound then Librarian for old detail.
Librarian
Reads one topic file in a short-lived chat and returns a short cited answer.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/32Bridger/status/2113429530182295647 and the Article (credit @32Bridger).
- 2Either drop the Deep Recall kit into chat and say "Set this up," or build day/topic files + INDEX.md by hand from a real chat export.
- 3Install Bloodhound (read-only search) and test known word / nonsense / no-arg.
- 4Add Librarian (skill+helper, separate bot, or small slice reads) and standing rules: index-first, never whole-archive.
- 5When chat is long, Renew: old bot writes handoff + updates archive, you create a fresh bot that reads only handoff + INDEX.md.
Approval fence
Bot asks before anything irreversible; you delete the old bot yourself after Renew.
What to tweak
Steal the rule: never read the whole archive into chat; search, then ask a short-lived helper.
