system-overview

system-overview is a skill for Claude Code from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 22 tokens per session (669 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for Continuous Claude, a setup that combines persistent memory, event-based hooks, and agent coordination. Hooks are automatic actions that run when events such as a session start, tool use, or session end occur.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand the system's memory, recall commands, hooks, context handling, and sub-agent coordination.
Why use it?
It explains how the setup keeps useful information between sessions and coordinates work around the coding agent's lifecycle.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is RECALL: uv run python opc/scripts/recall_temporal_facts.py --query "your topic".

Good fit Use it to understand the system's memory, recall commands, hooks, context handling, and sub-agent coordination.

About the project

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

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

system-overview scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 8d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

System Overview

Show users how Continuous Claude works - the opinionated setup with hooks, memory, and coordination.

When to Use

  • User asks "how does this work?"
  • User asks "what can you remember?"
  • User asks "what's different about this setup?"
  • User runs /system_overview

Response

CONTINUOUS CLAUDE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
=================================

MEMORY LAYER (PostgreSQL + pgvector)
------------------------------------
- 78,000+ temporal facts from past sessions
- Learnings extracted automatically at session end
- Semantic search with embeddings

RECALL: uv run python opc/scripts/recall_temporal_facts.py --query "your topic"

HOOKS (9 event types registered)
--------------------------------
SessionStart    → Load continuity ledger, rebuild symbol index
UserPromptSubmit → Skill activation check, context injection
PreToolUse      → Smart search routing (Grep → TLDR for code)
PostToolUse     → File claims, compiler feedback
PreCompact      → Save state before context compaction
Stop            → Extract learnings, create handoffs
SubagentStart   → Register spawned agents
SubagentStop    → Coordination, handoff creation
SessionEnd      → Cleanup

CONTINUITY SYSTEM
-----------------
Ledger:   thoughts/ledgers/CONTINUITY_CLAUDE-{session}.md
Handoffs: thoughts/shared/handoffs/{session}/*.yaml

Commands:
  /resume_handoff <path>  - Continue from handoff
  /create_handoff         - Create snapshot for transfer

TLDR CODE INTELLIGENCE
----------------------
5-layer analysis: AST → Call Graph → CFG → DFG → PDG
95% token savings vs reading raw files
Auto-intercepts Grep for .py/.ts/.go/.rs files

Pre-built index: /tmp/claude-symbol-index/symbols.json

SETUP
-----
Run: uv run python opc/scripts/setup/wizard.py

Options:
  [1] SQLite only (simple, offline)
  [2] PostgreSQL + pgvector (semantic search)

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.

system-overview is a skill published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,938 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 669 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
