breadcrumbs

claude-breadcrumbs

Claude Code plugin for context preservation across compactions. Drop breadcrumbs before /compact, pick them up after.

What's included

Component	Type	Description
/breadcrumbs:prepare-compact	Skill	Save git state, update beads cards, create recovery files before /compact
/breadcrumbs:restore-context	Skill	Reload everything after compaction or new session
PreCompact hook	Hook	Auto-saves basic recovery state before compaction
PostCompact hook	Hook	Auto-loads recovery state after compaction

Install

/plugin marketplace add aesirsystems/claude-marketplace
/plugin install breadcrumbs@aesir-marketplace

Usage

Before compacting:

/breadcrumbs:prepare-compact

After compacting or starting a new session:

/breadcrumbs:restore-context

The hooks also run automatically — PreCompact saves a basic recovery file, PostCompact loads it into context.

Dependencies

• beads — optional, for task tracking features (install: brew install steveyegge/beads/bd)

Without beads, the skills still save/restore git state and recovery files.
