c0ntextKeeper

c0ntextKeeper automatically captures and archives your Claude Code conversations before compaction occurs, eliminating the need to rediscover solutions across sessions. It uses 7 hooks integrated into Claude Code and 187 semantic patterns to intelligently extract problems, solutions, and architectural decisions from your work. The system provides searchable access via CLI commands and MCP tools, with automatic redaction of API keys and credentials for security. Setup requires a single command with zero configuration needed, and it operates with <10ms performance impact. Developers and operations teams can retrieve past context naturally by asking Claude questions about previous work.

[{"step":"Trigger c0ntextKeeper before starting a critical task. For example, run `c0ntextKeeper --project api-gateway-rewrite --goal 'implement rate limiting'` in your terminal or invoke it via your IDE's AI assistant.","tip":"Use the `--verbose` flag to see detailed logs of preserved context. This helps debug if something is missing."},{"step":"Verify the preserved context by reviewing the summary output. Check that all [LIST_KEY_CONTEXT_ITEMS] are included and no uncommitted changes are missed.","tip":"If you're working in a team, share the context summary with collaborators to ensure alignment on the current state."},{"step":"Proceed with your task (e.g., refactoring, debugging, or deploying). c0ntextKeeper will silently monitor for context changes and alert you if critical data is lost.","tip":"For long-running tasks, periodically run `c0ntextKeeper --check` to ensure context integrity."},{"step":"If context loss is detected, use the preserved state to restore files or dependencies. For example, run `c0ntextKeeper --restore --commit a1b2c3d` to revert to a known good state.","tip":"Combine with `git` or your version control system to create a backup tag (e.g., `git tag context-save-2024-05-20`) for easy rollback."},{"step":"After completing the task, run `c0ntextKeeper --cleanup` to remove temporary context files and free up disk space.","tip":"Set up a cron job or GitHub Action to run `c0ntextKeeper --cleanup` weekly to avoid accumulating stale context data."}]
