What problem does it solve?

Keeps project continuity across Cowork sessions by storing decisions, file edits, tool outputs, summaries, and notes so the assistant can recall prior work and avoid repeated context gathering.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic capture hooks: SessionStart recalls summaries, PostToolUse captures file edits and tool outputs, PreCompact marks compaction points.
• Local persistent storage: SQLite database with FTS5 full-text index and a TF-IDF semantic search layer for concept-level retrieval.
• CLI management: Scripts to add observations, search, view timelines, start/end sessions, compact old entries, export, and delete.
• Privacy and quality controls: <private> tagged content is stored but excluded from search, and auto-capture filters avoid trivial noise.
• Use Case: Start a new work session and immediately recall the last decision on authentication, save a rationale as a decision, and later semantically search for prior debugging insights.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to recall the last session for project X and summarize outstanding tasks.
