Continuous-Claude-v3 is a Claude Code development environment that preserves working context between sessions, coordinates specialized agents, and stores project knowledge through ledgers, handoffs, and analysis tools. It is for people using Claude Code on ongoing or complex software work. Its catalogue entries are the skills, agents, hooks, plugin, and setting that provide its workflows and orchestration.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00008 | $0.00283 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00142 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00028 |
Grade B, and why
observe-before-editing scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
3. Check logs for errors: `tail .claude/cache/*.log` What it actually says
Observe Before Editing
Before editing code to fix a bug, confirm what the system actually produced.
Pattern
Outputs don't lie. Code might. Check outputs first.
DO
- Check if expected directories exist:
ls -la .claude/cache/ - Check if expected files were created:
ls -la .claude/cache/learnings/ - Check logs for errors:
tail .claude/cache/*.log - Run the failing command manually to see actual error
- Only then edit code
DON'T
- Assume "hook didn't run" without checking outputs
- Edit code based on what you think should happen
- Confuse global vs project paths (check both:
.claude/and~/.claude/)
Source Sessions
- a541f08a: Token limit error was invisible until manual run revealed it
- 6a9f2d7a: Looked in wrong cache path (
~/.claude/vs.claude/), assumed hook failure - a8bd5cea: Confirmed hook worked by finding output files in project cache
- 1c21e6c8: Verified Artifact Index indexing by checking DB file exists
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

observe-before-editing is a skill published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,938 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 283 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
prove-checks
Prove a passing check was capable of failing before recording it as evidence. Use when a test, CI job, build-and-diff, smoke test or rehearsal comes back green and that green is about to be treated as proof - especially when the check depends on a setup mutation (a sed/awk rewrite, an env var, a secret, a fixture…
headsup-diagnose
Actively test the Codex headsup stack by flashing idle, working, and waiting tab colors and checking daemon application.
headsup-status
Print a read-only health snapshot for the Codex headsup hook stack: daemon, watchdog, sessions, notifications, and logs.
debugging-and-recovery
Use when something is broken, a test is failing, behavior is wrong, when investigating a production incident, when a user reports a bug, when a feature works locally but not in another environment, or when the system behaves differently than the contract specifies.
prod-debug
Production debugging skill. Pre-loads DB schema, container registry, and prod environment facts from .claude/prod-debug/ in the current project root. Use when the user invokes /prod-debug or /prod-debug bootstrap.
error-handling-and-resilience
Use when establishing error handling patterns for a project, when adding retry logic, circuit breakers, or graceful degradation, when reviewing how a service handles failures, or when an incident reveals that a failure mode was silently swallowed.
