 # XMemo Skill Change Log
 
+## 1.1.13
+
+- Add the read-only `recall-context` command for the service's bounded,
+  prompt-ready `/v1/recall/context` response, with client-side budget validation.
+- Preserve existing authentication, scopes, temporary-sandbox limits, and all
+  other runtime commands.

 ## 1.1.12
 
 - Add a short first-successful-run path: anonymous service health check,

+`recall-context` is a read-only prompt-context helper backed by
+`/v1/recall/context`. It returns the service's bounded `context_text` and, with
+`--json`, the structured context items. It requires a formal read-capable
+credential; temporary sandboxes remain limited to `remember`, `recall`, and
+`search`.
+
 `logout` revokes and removes a user credential file. When `XMEMO_KEY` supplies
 the active credential, logout leaves that externally managed token unchanged
 unless `--revoke-environment-token` is explicitly passed; unset the environment
