Hindsight Self Hosted

This connects Claude to your self-hosted Hindsight server for persistent team memory. It stores project conventions, individual preferences, procedure outcomes, and learnings from tasks in a shared knowledge bank. The interesting bit is that it doesn't just save text verbatim. The server extracts structured facts, builds relationships between them, and makes everything semantically searchable. You pass rich context and timestamps, it handles the extraction. Best used when you want Claude to remember coding standards, past solutions to problems, and team member preferences across sessions. Requires a self-hosted instance and some initial CLI setup, but after that it's just retain and recall commands before tasks.

Hindsight Memory Skill (Self-Hosted)

You have persistent memory via a self-hosted Hindsight server. This memory bank can be shared with the team, so knowledge stored here benefits everyone working on this codebase.

Proactively store team knowledge and recall context to provide better assistance.

Setup Check (First-Time Only)

Before using memory commands, verify the Hindsight CLI is configured:

cat ~/.hindsight/config

If the file doesn't exist or is missing credentials, help the user set it up:

Install the CLI (if hindsight command not found):

curl -fsSL https://hindsight.vectorize.io/get-cli | bash

Create the config file - ask the user for:
- API URL: Their self-hosted Hindsight server URL (e.g., https://hindsight.mycompany.com)
- API Key: Their authentication key
```
mkdir -p ~/.hindsight
cat > ~/.hindsight/config << 'EOF'
api_url = "<user's server URL>"
api_key = "<user's API key>"
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.hindsight/config
```
Get the bank ID - ask the user for their bank ID (e.g., team-myproject)
