Context Engine for Claude Code (V1): the agent's Working Context file replaces the conversation at each user-turn boundary. Full Replacement per user turn…

Release candidate: tool-schema prose and fixtures are independently authored here. Publication still requires review of this exact snapshot and its fresh history; see PROVENANCE.md.
Source approval and installation acceptance: changes target dev, then move to main after the applicable acceptance gates and owner authorization. Verify the exact head commit, its CI results and independent review before an installation trial. A branch name or an earlier passing commit does not establish acceptance of this snapshot.
Ordinary-profile persistent plugin loading, interactive delivery and bounded long-session functional acceptance remain unverified. Claude also requires acceptance of the interactive bridge between its two installed plugins. These checks must prove the documented next-request and read-back behavior on the supported host. Comparative performance research is outside these release gates. Offline source checks do not make provider calls or change host configuration.
Shared-core correction: Working Context writes now use an anchored, verified parent directory. Synthetic Linux parent-swap regressions cover swaps before open, temporary-file creation and rename. Both plugin candidates pin this correction; these checks do not establish real-host installation acceptance.
An experimental, opt-in plugin that lets your agent edit its Working Context with ordinary tools. This repository ships only the Claude Code adapter and a pinned shared core. Projects without shared opt-in start off. Installing or reinstalling can activate projects with retained or inherited opt-in, including opt-in set by the sibling adapter. No default-on recommendation or accuracy gain is claimed.
Full Replacement per user turn. Explicit read-back within a turn. An accepted Working Context edit produces a static revision and digest notice with a command for the retained core CLI. The notice contains no editable content. Use --framed and read every part with the same digest. A later continuation of the same user turn can receive the edit as ordinary tool output. This addition retains earlier history and does not guarantee a smaller request. Full Replacement per user turn remains at the existing user-turn or compaction boundary.
The native host places tool-hook context in a system message. Context Engine therefore uses it only for validated metadata and fixed read instructions, never Working Context bytes. An edit does not automatically load the full file into the immediate next model call. The adapter preserves the original tool result and reference. It waits for the root tool batch to finish, then gives each accepted edit revision one notice. Initialization, ordinary events and unchanged revisions produce no edit notice.
The validated packet must fit 32,000 UTF-8 bytes including its carrier and the Working Context budget. Refused or oversized packets are never truncated. A notice or completed file read is not proof of request delivery.
Later compaction is a separate boundary. The existing guard stands aside before recording when the native tail contains Bash and the Working Context revision changed since the previous replacement. The CLI read uses Bash. A successful within-turn read does not count as replacement or clear this guard. Do not infer later automatic replacement from a successful read-back test.
Copy the following prompt, replacing the project placeholder before sending it:
Set up Context Engine for Claude Code from
https://github.com/Jeff-Kazzee/context-engine-claude
for this project: <absolute project path>.
Select the exact commit approved for this installation trial. Verify its CI,
independent source review and owner authorization before installation. Do not
infer approval from a branch name or reuse evidence for a different commit. Read the CURRENT README.md, AGENTS.md, PROVENANCE.md, SOURCE.json and
adapters/claude/README.md before executing anything. Verify the actual OS,
Node version, claude version and available plugin/mod commands against those
docs and their CLI help. The inherited compatibility baseline is Claude Code 2.1.289 (mods early access);
do not silently install/downgrade a runner or assume another version works.
If access, licensing or runtime support is blocked, stop and report the reason.
Explain config changes and hook trust, then use normal approval controls.
Never read/copy authentication files, tokens or raw private captures. Use the
runner's existing login without inspecting it; no API-key or proxy fallback.
Use a fresh disposable test project FIRST. Install only this runner's plugin,
leave per-step/stale-refs experiments off, enable only the test project, and
run context-engine-claude status there. An installed plugin or a file write is not proof.
Using non-sensitive sentinels, prove a Working Context edit changes what the
NEXT REQUEST contains at the documented delivery boundary. If request-level
evidence is unavailable, explicitly report that acceptance as unverified;
do not expand logging/permissions or claim success. Do not run costly evals.
After the test passes and I approve the target-project scope, enable only the
named project and report exact mode, versions, commands, config/backups changed,
evidence, gaps and disable/uninstall steps. Preserve unrelated work.
The CI workflow checks the exact PR source commit on three hosts with Node 24.21.0. Its platform coverage is:
| Host | Maintained coverage | Stateful support |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | Core, setup and adapter suites | Supported with the documented Linux requirements |
| Windows | Pure operations and refusal before state or setup mutation | Unsupported |
| macOS | Pure operations and refusal before state or setup mutation | Unsupported |
Actual Windows and macOS jobs passed on 2026-10-08 in the initial CI run at af9b638f3c9725b1b0d7246df6f35949d0fcf351. These baseline results do not validate later commits. Each updated PR head requires its own successful CI. Offline contract checks do not prove provider delivery, model behavior or interactive acceptance.
The shared core separates host operations through core/platform-contract.ts. Its Linux backend inspects actual handles and targets, reports ownership and private-access facts, and owns private creation and permission changes. Context parsing, rendering and token estimates remain usable without selecting a host backend. A future backend must preserve directory confinement, exclusive lock publication, process identity, private access and durability before stateful use. Extracting this contract does not implement Windows or macOS adapters or establish live delivery acceptance.
Shared core 0.1.5 uses the full SHA-256 of the canonical project path for private state and participation keys. Legacy 0.1.0 directories and backups are preserved, but are not automatically migrated or merged. Uninstall an old installation using its original checkout/CLI first; retain its backups and session data. After coordinated runner updates, re-enable a fresh disposable project and start a fresh session. Do not mix 0.1.0 with 0.1.5 under a shared CONTEXT_ENGINE_STATE_DIR; use a separate, consistently configured state root for a trial. Existing legacy data remains available through the old checkout with its old state root. Valid full-digest keys from 0.1.1 remain unchanged in 0.1.2, 0.1.3 and 0.1.5.
/proc mounted and Node 24 or newer is the supported stateful target. Native Windows and macOS have no verified host backend. Stateful storage, locking, install and uninstall refuse with CE_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM before mutation. Use the original supported Linux environment and checkout to remove a prior installation. Do not relax confinement checks or sandbox permissions.Internal probe and retirement paths belong to the core after exclusive creation, including their directory names in the managed parent. Mode 0700 excludes other OS users, but another process running as the same OS user can still replace those paths. Active same-user replacement of these internal paths is unsupported. Rename, unlink and directory removal there remain pathname operations, with no atomic inode-conditional deletion guarantee. Preexisting name collisions refuse before adoption or overwrite. Working Context edits and unrelated public backup names retain the documented preservation rules and final-sample limits.
claude --version, claude --help and its plugin help first.CONTEXT_ENGINE_STATE_DIR must be an absolute path, identical in the setup shell and runner launch environment. Relative state roots are refused rather than resolved differently for each project or hook cwd.0700). Existing shared or linked state directories are refused without changing their permissions; never point the override at /tmp itself or a shared mount root.~/.claude/.credentials.json or ~/.codex/auth.json; use normal runner authentication if needed.node --version
claude --version
claude plugin --help
These commands change configuration. Run them only after the preflight above, in a supported environment where you approve plugin installation. Keep the checkout at its installed path: hook commands refer to it. If the sibling adapter is already installed, first choose shared or isolated participation as described below; do not run enable until that scope is approved.
git clone https://github.com/Jeff-Kazzee/context-engine-claude.git
cd context-engine-claude
# Replace APPROVED_COMMIT with the exact reviewed commit approved for this trial.
git checkout --detach APPROVED_COMMIT
git rev-parse HEAD
npm ci
npm link
context-engine-claude install
# Replace this path with a NEW disposable project, not the repo checkout.
mkdir -p /tmp/context-engine-claude-trial
cd /tmp/context-engine-claude-trial
context-engine-claude enable
context-engine-claude status
No runner binary is installed by these commands. install defaults to Claude Code only and refuses the other runner flag. enable covers the selected directory and its subdirectories. This repository does not install or change Codex configuration. Shared participation can activate an already-installed sibling adapter; check the scope below before enabling.
Both distributions vendor the same core. They retain context-engine for compatible session read/recall/show commands. Linking the second checkout replaces that generic PATH alias; always use context-engine-claude for install, enable, status, disable and uninstall. The runtime aliases remain distinct. Default state/participation storage is shared; if both plugins are installed, enabling a project may activate both. Use a consistent, separate CONTEXT_ENGINE_STATE_DIR in each runner's launch environment and matching setup shell when you require separate participation. Never mix core versions under a shared generic alias.
Start a new Claude session after enable/disable. Persistent install registers the main mod and interactive companion trigger. Headless -p/SDK hosts must send /compact between turns. Leave CONTEXT_ENGINE_CLAUDE_MODE=per-step unset for the first trial.
Uninstall retains shared project participation as well as session data. Reinstalling can therefore activate a previously enabled project without another enable, including subdirectories inheriting that opt-in. Run context-engine-claude status in each intended project before starting a new session. To revoke participation, run context-engine-claude disable for that scope before uninstalling; this also stops the sibling adapter's hooks in the same shared scope. Run context-engine-codex disable there as well to restore Codex project settings. Uninstall alone removes Claude's installation without revoking the sibling's participation. Use consistently separate state roots when you require independent participation. Context Engine for Codex differs: for a project enabled through Codex, its uninstall writes a project retirement record, so reinstalling it leaves that project inactive until an explicit enable. These configuration checks do not prove live hook loading or delivery.
The companion now requires the main adapter's composed section and a fresh read-only setup-status check of scoped participation plus both installed/enabled plugins before requesting compaction. This guard does not establish host action-to-hook integration or real request-level delivery. status reports current configuration, and explicitly leaves live hook loading unverified. A pre-existing .context-engine/.gitignore must be a regular, unlinked file whose last effective rule is *; otherwise startup refuses without changing that file. Review and fix that rule locally before retrying.
The visible session frame key is not authentication. Multiple keyed frames, or a keyed frame later in the conversation, make the adapter record nothing and stand aside; start a fresh session. This conservative rule and persistent host delivery still need runtime acceptance. Text resembling <system-reminder> is retained because API text alone cannot prove runner authorship. On a post-open core fault, scheduled plugin compaction is skipped; explicit manual and automatic runner compactions retain native fallback.
Use harmless, unique strings such as CE_OLD_TEST and CE_NEW_TEST. Preserve the current human request and the runner instructions, tools and permissions. Test the intended delivery mode explicitly.
For within-turn read-back, first establish a committed Working Context, then edit it while the same user turn continues. The immediate next native request must contain only the static revision-and-digest notice in hook context. It must not contain editable file bytes in a system or developer message. Run the notice's digest-bound CLI command with --framed and read every part with the same digest. Read exactly the payload byte count declared in each versioned frame, then check its fixed footer. Body text that resembles a footer is still payload. Inspect the following native request for the complete edited file in ordinary tool output. Earlier native history remains.
An unchanged write and an ordinary tool call must not add another edit notice.
For Full Replacement per user turn, cross the existing user-turn or compaction boundary. Verify that the replacement frame contains the new Working Context at user-message authority and removed history no longer occupies the rebuilt input. Headless hosts must send /compact between turns.
Inspect only authorized, scoped request evidence from a disposable project. A changed file, active status, prepared packet, hook return or model statement does not establish delivery. If safe request inspection is unavailable, report delivery as unverified and keep the test scope.
After you accept the result, move to the intended project and run context-engine-claude enable, then context-engine-claude status. Preserve the original task, user control and ordinary approval boundaries. Editable context is user data and can retain prompt injections; it does not gain system/developer authority.
Useful agent instructions in an enabled session:
Keep the current request, verified decisions and next step in your Working
Context. Preserve source pointers when offloading large tool outputs. After a
reset, read the current file completely and continue without repeating done work.
From that project, replace placeholders with the actual session and event IDs:
context-engine read --session <session-id>
context-engine recall --session <session-id> decision
context-engine show --session <session-id> <event-id>
read names every next part when a file needs paging. It refuses files above 16 MiB before loading their payload; offload large content with source pointers instead of relying on unbounded paging. Invalid UTF-8 is refused by reads and citations. recall and show are limited to the caller's project, with bounded output. Recall may report accounting: skipped if the Event Log cannot be written in a sandbox; that path is unit-tested, not established by a real sandbox session.
# Run in the project enabled above:
context-engine-claude disable
CONTEXT_ENGINE=off claude
# Removes this runner's adapter; retains session data:
context-engine-claude uninstall
# Run in its checkout only when removing its PATH links:
npm unlink --global context-engine-claude
Claude enable/disable and kill-switch changes apply to new sessions; Codex checks participation at each hook. Backups precede config writes. Configuration with recognized credential-bearing keys is refused before any before/after backup copies. Conservative TOML inspection also refuses escaped keys, inline tables and multiline nonstring forms; keep secrets in normal runner authentication rather than tracked configuration. Failed installation reverses known Context Engine configuration fields while preserving concurrent unmanaged edits, and removes newly created Context Engine namespaces. Unknown changed files are retained with their before-backups rather than overwritten. New files outside those namespaces may belong to concurrent work, so they are retained and reported on failure and uninstall rather than deleted. Their contents are not copied into the ledger. Unchanged configuration is restored byte for byte; if other tools changed it, uninstall removes only Context Engine entries and reports the backup location. If a required before backup is lost, uninstall skips native runner removal and uses direct ledger cleanup. It removes only values matching the installation writes, keeps other managed values and containers, and reports them. Native-only effects remain unverified. An originally absent file needs no before copy and retains the normal native uninstall path. Review partial failures before retrying. Unlinking the CLI alone does not uninstall plugin configuration.
Working Contexts live in <project>/.context-engine/<session>/, with managed directories private (0700) and the file private (0600). Existing user-owned managed directories/files are tightened on open; unsafe links, credentials and shared state roots are refused. Setup also refuses nonprivate state roots before changing runner configuration. If an interrupted runner append committed a revision before writing the file, recovery delivers that revision and preserves an intervening stale-file edit in the Event Log with a restore notice. Revisions, the Event Log, participation and install backups live under $XDG_STATE_HOME/context-engine (default ~/.local/state/context-engine; CONTEXT_ENGINE_STATE_DIR overrides). Runner homes honor CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CODEX_HOME. Uninstall retains those session records. Deletion from Working Context only removes future model input; prior text remains in runner transcripts and the Event Log. Delete retained data only with your own exact-path approval.
Restore notices created by this version carry unique durable intent IDs. A restore intent is written before file publication, so replay says restoration was requested and requires a reread. It does not claim that the following rename completed. The rejected edit is retained separately. Sync and unmaterialized runner-append recovery both reoffer pending notices even when the file already matches HEAD, without rewriting it just to replay a notice. Older ID-less restored rows remain readable, but their historical lost notices and delivery outcomes are not reconstructed.
Each new restore attempt has a distinct notice ID, including identical rejected bytes at one revision. Confirmation of an earlier attempt cannot clear a later one. Local samples in one materialization are deduplicated. An ambiguous crash retry can create another attempt and retain another rejected-edit row. Retention in that case is at least once, not exactly once. Invalid-sync recovery of an already-current file needs no new restore attempt. An unmaterialized append can still recover its preserved predecessor and create another independently confirmable intent, even when the public file already matches HEAD.
Each result represents at most 64 pending IDs and reports the total pending count. Model-facing output uses one bounded static summary. The remaining IDs stay durable and advance after successful confirmation of the represented batch. CLI stdout confirms its own transport by default. Adapters defer that confirmation and confirm only carried IDs against the offered session generation after their transport succeeds. Acknowledgment validates the durable HEAD/log boundary and IDs without syncing, materializing, repairing the ignore file, or rewriting Working Context. Unknown IDs or a stale owner generation refuse before confirmation. A repeated confirmed ID is harmless. The disposable recovery checkpoint moves from version 4 to 5 to cache pending intents. Older checkpoints rebuild from the Event Log. HEAD and historical log records are not migrated.
Claude per-step confirms after successful sendStep transport. Compact and tool-return carriers have no corroborating host callback in this patch. Their represented batch remains pending and can repeat across later calls and restarts. Later notices remain queued. A visible frame key does not prove retention. Delivery is at least once under retry. No exactly-once display or model ingestion guarantee is made. Offline synthetic controls do not establish installed host acceptance.
Working Context predecessor capture now samples the same verified descriptor up to four times after publication and during preserved-artifact recovery. Another sample is taken only when changed-byte logging completed durably. Stable or locally deduplicated bytes stop the loop. A logging failure keeps the verified artifact and marker and refuses completion. This can capture a suffix completed during earlier logging, but it cannot establish writer com
hooks/register.ts 667 lines1// Context Engine for Claude Code, V1 (default). Delivery mode: Full Replacement per user turn;
2// Injection within a turn.
3//
4// - session.start opens the session in the shared core (lock, crash recovery).
5// - prompt.compose adds one static, session-scoped section: where the Working Context file is, and
6// that it is data at user-message authority. The file's contents never enter the system prompt.
7// - session.compact (manual, plugin or auto; main conversation only) mirrors every message since the
8// last Working Context frame into the core in one batch (`record`, which commits any edit the
9// agent made first), then answers with the committed file as ONE user-role message. `next` is not
10// called, so no summarizer request is made. Rows are recorded only here, so the current turn is
11// not in the Event Log (and not recallable) until the next compaction. The compaction at each
12// user-turn boundary is raised by the separate context-engine-trigger plugin (a plugin's own call
13// skips its own hook as re-entry); headless hosts send `/compact` between turns instead.
14// - Budget (issues #22, #23): each compaction passes the core the Working Context's budget (Claude
15// Code's auto-compact threshold, or CONTEXT_ENGINE_BUDGET_TOKENS, minus the Pinned Prefix, from
16// `$.session.usage`, minus a turn reserve measured from this session's turns; see
17// workingContextBudget), and the frame carries the core's size readout and reminders. When the
18// Working Context is over that budget, delivering it would leave the turn no room under Claude
19// Code's threshold (the smoke and pilot runs' "Autocompact is thrashing"), so that compaction falls back to Claude Code's
20// own summarizer (`next`), its result becomes the next Revision (core `native-compaction`), and the
21// frame, the transcript log, the Event Log and the status line label it Compaction-only.
22// - tool.call + session.append stub the echo of the agent's own Read of the file, which would
23// otherwise repeat the whole Working Context inside the turn. Only a Read that returned the whole
24// text of the last compaction frame this process placed in the conversation is stubbed.
25// - Participation: every core call passes --if-enabled. In a project nobody enabled (the pilot is
26// opt-in), or with the kill switch CONTEXT_ENGINE=off, the core does nothing and the mod stands
27// aside for the session: no section, native compaction, the trigger's compaction skipped.
28// - One writer per session: when another live process holds the session (at open or at record),
29// the trigger's per-turn compaction is skipped; any other compaction runs natively, so the
30// context cannot overflow.
31// - Fail safe: when the core fails, Claude Code compacts natively and the error is logged.
32//
33// Experimental per-step mode (opt-in: CONTEXT_ENGINE_CLAUDE_MODE=per-step, or the plugin option
34// `mode: per-step`): the `turn.step` hook below. Its logic is the pure functions of per-step.ts;
35// only the `$` plumbing is here, because the engine follows `$` only into functions of the hooks
36// module's own file.
37//
38// The core is reached only through `$.process.run(['node', <checkout>/core/cli.ts, ...])`.
