bruhook - Context Tracking System

bruhook is a buddy system that runs in the background during your coding sessions. It helps maintain context, track progress, and prevent incomplete work.

What bruhook does

When BRUHOOK_ENABLED=true:

1. Code review - Every file change is reviewed against the plan by a background Claude session. Drift (justified or not) gets logged.

2. Plan tracking - Session-to-plan mappings are stored in .bruhook/session-plans.json in the project directory.

3. Context restoration - On session resume or compaction, the plan and review log are automatically injected back into context.

4. Completion checking - When you try to stop, bruhook verifies the plan is actually complete. If steps are missing, it blocks the stop and tells you what's left.

Where to find things

• Plan file: Usually in ~/.claude/plans/*.md - the current session's plan
• Review log: .bruhook/reviews/{plan-name}.log in the project directory
• Session mapping: .bruhook/session-plans.json in the project directory

How to check status

Use /bruhook:status to see:

• Current plan file for this session
• Whether bruhook is enabled
• Path to the review log

Use /bruhook:log to read the review log for the current session.

Important behaviors

• The plan tracker ALWAYS runs (even without BRUHOOK_ENABLED) to maintain session-plan mappings
• Review logs use numbered entries [N] that build incrementally
• The completion checker examines git diff to verify actual implementation matches claims
• Any drift from the plan is logged, whether justified or not
