Continuity Framework - Claude Code Skill

Transform passive memory into active development.

Commands

continuity reflect

Analyze the current or recent conversation, extract structured memories, and generate follow-up questions.

Process:

1. Read the conversation context (or load from provided session file)

3. Score each memory's confidence level
4. Generate genuine follow-up questions
5. Save to memory files

continuity questions

Show pending questions generated from previous reflections.

Process:

1. Read ~/clawd/memory/questions.md
2. Display pending (unchecked) questions with context
3. Show count and timing recommendations

continuity status

Display memory and continuity statistics.

Process:

1. Read memory files from ~/clawd/memory/
2. Count memories by type
3. Show question stats (pending/resolved)
4. Display identity summary

continuity greet

Generate a context-aware session greeting with surfaced questions.

Process:

1. Load pending questions (limit 3)
2. Load identity context
3. Format greeting with questions to surface

continuity resolve <number>

Mark a question as resolved.

Process:

1. Read questions file
2. Mark specified question as resolved [x]
3. Save updated file

Memory Storage

All memory files are stored in ~/clawd/memory/:

~/clawd/memory/
├── MEMORY.md       # Structured memories by type
├── questions.md    # Pending questions from reflection
├── identity.md     # Self-model and growth narrative
└── reflections/    # Reflection logs (optional)

Memory Types

When extracting memories, classify into these 7 types:

Type	Description	Signals to Look For
fact	Declarative knowledge	"I am", "I work", "I have", statements of fact
preference	Likes, dislikes, styles	"I prefer", "I like", "I hate", "I always"
relationship	Connection dynamics	Emotional exchanges, personal sharing, trust signals
principle	Learned guidelines	"Never", "always", "important to me", value statements
commitment	Promises, obligations	"I will", "let's", "agreed", future obligations
moment	Significant episodes	Emotional intensity, breakthroughs, turning points
skill	Learned capabilities	"I learned", demonstrations of competence

---

Confidence Scoring

Assign confidence scores (0.0-1.0) based on evidence strength:

Level	Range	Criteria	Examples
Explicit	0.95-1.0	User directly stated, unambiguous	"I work at Google" → 0.98
Implied	0.70-0.94	Strong inference from context	Late nights + deadlines → works in tech (0.85)
Inferred	0.40-0.69	Pattern recognition	Multiple tech questions → likely developer (0.55)
Speculative	0.00-0.39	Tentative, needs confirmation	Tone suggests stress → might be overwhelmed (0.25)

---

Question Generation

Generate questions based on these curiosity types:

Type	Description	Example
gap	Missing information	"You mentioned a project - what's the goal?"
implication	Follow-up from shared info	"Given your deadline, how are you managing?"
clarification	Ambiguous needs clarity	"When you said 'complicated', what did you mean?"
exploration	Deeper understanding	"What drew you to that field originally?"
connection	Link between memories	"Does your interest in X relate to your work on Y?"

Question Quality:

• Emerge naturally from conversation
• Show genuine interest, not interrogation
• Respect boundaries and sensitivity
• Have clear purpose and context

Reflection Process

When running continuity reflect:

Step 1: Analyze Conversation

Read through the conversation and identify:

• Statements containing memorable information about the user
• Emotional moments or breakthroughs
• Commitments made by either party
• Preferences expressed or implied
• Relationship dynamics

Step 2: Extract Memories

For each potential memory:

1. Determine the appropriate type (fact/preference/relationship/principle/commitment/moment/skill)
2. Write a clear, concise statement
3. Note the source quote if available
4. Assign relevant tags

Step 3: Score Confidence

For each extracted memory:

1. Evaluate evidence strength (explicit statement vs inference)
2. Assign score in appropriate range
3. Document the evidence basis

Step 4: Generate Questions

Review all memories and identify:

1. Gaps in understanding
2. Natural follow-ups
3. Areas for deeper exploration
4. Connections between topics

For each question:

1. Write naturally (not clinical)
2. Provide context for why asking
3. Assess sensitivity level
4. Set appropriate timing

Step 5: Update Files

1. Append new memories to MEMORY.md under appropriate sections
2. Add new questions to questions.md
3. Update identity.md if significant growth noted
4. Optionally save reflection log to reflections/

Session Integration

At Session Start

Run continuity greet to:

1. Load pending questions
2. Generate context-aware greeting
3. Surface 1-3 most relevant questions

Example output:

Welcome back.

From my reflection on our last conversation, I've been thinking about:
  • How is the migration project progressing?
  • Did the team meeting go well?

Ready to continue where we left off.

At Session End

Run continuity reflect to:

1. Analyze what happened
2. Extract learnings
3. Generate questions for next time
4. Update memory files

---

Configuration

Environment variables (optional):

export CONTINUITY_MEMORY_DIR=~/clawd/memory  # Memory storage path
export CONTINUITY_QUESTION_LIMIT=3           # Max questions to surface

---

Tips

1. Run reflect after meaningful sessions - Not every chat needs reflection
2. Surface questions naturally - Integrate into greeting, don't interrogate
3. Respect low confidence - Don't act on speculative memories without confirmation
4. Update identity gradually - Small evolutions, not dramatic shifts
5. Mark questions resolved - Keep the list fresh and relevant
