System Overview
This explains how the Continuous Claude system works under the hood: the hooks, memory architecture, and how different components coordinate. It's meant for when users want to understand what makes this setup different from vanilla Claude, or when they wonder what's being remembered between conversations. With nearly 400 installs and 3.8K GitHub stars, it's clearly addressing a real need. The `/system_overview` command gives you the full rundown on demand. If you're running Continuous Claude and getting confused about what's happening behind the scenes, or if you just want to peek under the hood of an opinionated Claude setup, this is your documentation in skill form.

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
