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:
Code review - Every file change is reviewed against the plan by a background Claude session. Drift (justified or not) gets logged.
Plan tracking - Session-to-plan mappings are stored in .bruhook/session-plans.json in the project directory.
Context restoration - On session resume or compaction, the plan and review log are automatically injected back into context.
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
