This morning, I had OpenAI's sketchy agentic web browser open up my facebook feed and scroll it, clicking "hide ad" on every single ad and "not interested" on every suggested post for about half an hour.

And if you know all those words, but don't know the reference, go watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-... right now.

I've just released the first version of a new Claude Code plugin that helps it remember what it was doing yesterday, why it changed direction, and every conversation it has with you.
