This is rapidly becoming the "todo list demo" of the LLM era... I say this as someone who also built one because I was tired of all the others! (https://github.com/beaugunderson/obliscence)

First, OP's tool is cool, and worth trying. Yours as well, though when I see a vibed tool with no commits I wonder if the author is still using it themselves or achieved perfection. :-)

Meanwhile, the other todo list take, one I've undertaken as well, is to cross sync all the Claude Codes across all its instances on all your machines.

There are multiple projects that claim to do this. None do it fully. (They particularly have blind spots to tools that embed a Claude Code, such as the Xcode 26.5 and Xcode 27 beta.)

So: roll one's own, and in doing that, realize that it has first class tools to make back referencing transcripts normal.

Given those tools, you don't really need an extra layer.

totally, I see that syncing workflow come up quite a bit as well... some of this stuff is going to get sherlocked into the harness proper (probably a net benefit) though of course people are still going to want the meta-version that works with all of the different harnesses they use... so much of being effective with this style of development is molding it to your specific workflows and sanding off the rough edges with context, then sharing those wins with the larger team (another layer where I see a lot of differing approaches, like skillshare for example)
Lol fair enough! Great project btw. Interesting choice to trigger incremental refresh on SessionStart hook, that's nice.

How have you enjoyed the semantic search?

semantic search has been pretty good, it usually finds what it's looking for!

a couple of times I was certain that there was a session that contained some word but in reality it was in my personal claude.ai web account, so needed to add the import functionality there.

my favorite piece is the `corrections` command which surfaces all my frustrations/corrections in the last week for example... and I can then figure out if missing context would improve those scenarios going forward

Nice, yea I typically spend about 1/3 of my sessions on finding ways to improve the agents' SDLC. Lots of random audits and things.

And yea on the import thing, there are quite a few instances when session records can live on other machines, like cloud agents, dev boxes, etc.

Do you have any interest in sharing some transcripts with team members? I'm trying to figure out the shape of this solution because often times people I work with want to see what I did or fork one of my sessions, but I also don't necessarily just want unlimited dumping because I'm sure I have personal details in there too.

sometimes i'll share prompts but but never a whole transcript (have not had a reason to)

if i do want to share context i'll use something like "give me a prompt $coworker can share with their claude to continue this work"
