Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
I got tired of Claude Code forgetting all my context every time I open a new session: set-up decisions, how I like my margins, decision history. etc.
We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state.
Install in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill
/plugin install ensue-memory
# restart Claude Code
What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just string grep). Basically git for your Claude brainWhat it doesn’t do: - it won’t read your mind - it’s alpha; it might break if you throw a couch at it
Repo: https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill
If you try it and it sucks, tell me why so I can fix it. Don't be kind, tia
