Claude Code Plugin Solves Markdown File Ignorance

Hacker News •
×

A new plugin for Claude Code aims to fix a persistent frustration: the AI's tendency to ignore markdown files during coding sessions. Developed by Ankur and his cofounder after four days of work, the tool automatically captures and injects context corrections without manual prompting.

Users have tried various workarounds including plan mode, dedicated markdown files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, local context folders, and Cursor rules. Existing solutions like claude-mem handle session continuity but don't steer the AI's behavior. The new plugin uses fusion search with embeddings, BM25 ranking, time decay, and metadata filters to find and apply relevant corrections.

The plugin automatically merges, updates, and distills memories before injecting the most relevant ones after each user prompt. The team is still benchmarking effectiveness and improving extraction and search capabilities. They emphasize the importance of real-time, personalized context for AI agents.
