Elephant

Elephant adds a persistent memory layer to Claude Code, storing user‑provided notes and important entries in both local and global files. It compresses routine text to conserve tokens, while marking critical entries as uncompressed and immutable. Users can view the full memory, merge older routine entries, and bootstrap the memory from recent git commits, preserving author attribution for each note.

The plugin also automates changelog creation by reading the git log since the last tag, categorizing commits according to conventional‑commit prefixes, suggesting a semver bump, and updating both CHANGELOG.md and the version badge in README.md. It can generate or refresh a README from project history, memory, and metadata, retaining custom sections delimited by special markers.

Elephant’s global memory file resides in a user directory, allowing the same context to be shared across repositories and team members. Commands are invoked via the Claude Code interface, and the plugin can be updated directly from its GitHub source.
