Tonone-AI/elephant: Persistent memory for Claude Code. Never forget a session (github.com)

Tonone-AI has announced a new plugin, /elephant, for Claude Code that introduces persistent memory capabilities, addressing a significant limitation where Claude Code forgets context between sessions. This innovation allows users to bypass the tedious process of re-establishing project context each time they start a new coding session, thus enhancing productivity. By automatically loading memory at session start, the plugin eliminates the need for manual context re-explanation, allowing developers to dive straight into building. From a technical standpoint, /elephant employs "caveman-compression" to significantly reduce token usage by stripping filler content, enabling a week’s worth of historical context to fit in just 150 tokens instead of the typical 500. Additionally, the plugin supports a cold start feature that can quickly bootstrap memory from the last 60 Git commits, ensuring that new team members or environments can catch up swiftly. By integrating seamlessly with Claude Code’s workflow, this tool not only saves time but also streamlines project continuity, making it a valuable asset for the AI/ML development community.
