Show users how Continuous Claude works - the opinionated setup with hooks, memory, and coordination.
When to Use
- User asks "how does this work?"
- User asks "what can you remember?"
- User asks "what's different about this setup?"
- User runs

CONTINUOUS CLAUDE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
=================================
MEMORY LAYER (PostgreSQL + pgvector)
- 78,000+ temporal facts from past sessions
- Learnings extracted automatically at session end
- Semantic search with embeddings
RECALL: uv run python opc/scripts/recall_temporal_facts.py --query "your topic"
HOOKS (9 event types registered)
SessionStart → Load continuity ledger, rebuild symbol index UserPromptSubmit → Skill activation check, context injection PreToolUse → Smart search routing (Grep → TLDR for code) PostToolUse → File claims, compiler feedback PreCompact → Save state before context compaction Stop → Extract learnings, create handoffs SubagentStart → Register spawned agents SubagentStop → Coordination, handoff creation SessionEnd → Cleanup
CONTINUITY SYSTEM
Ledger: thoughts/ledgers/CONTINUITY_CLAUDE-{session}.md Handoffs: thoughts/shared/handoffs/{session}/*.yaml
Commands: /resume_handoff - Continue from handoff /create_handoff - Create snapshot for transfer
TLDR CODE INTELLIGENCE
5-layer analysis: AST → Call Graph → CFG → DFG → PDG 95% token savings vs reading raw files Auto-intercepts Grep for .py/.ts/.go/.rs files
Pre-built index: /tmp/claude-symbol-index/symbols.json
SETUP
Run: uv run python opc/scripts/setup/wizard.py
Options: [1] SQLite only (simple, offline) [2] PostgreSQL + pgvector (semantic search)
