Elephant

Elephant provides persistent memory and organizational tools for developers using Claude Code. Key features include: • Persistent context loaded at session start • Team-shared memory in your repository • Cross-project memory retention • Automated changelog generation from Git history • Synchronized README files with project details and badges This robust developer tool eliminates the need to repeatedly explain your project's stack and ongoing work to your coding assistant. By storing important context directly within your repository (`ELEPHANT.md`), it ensures that all team members benefit from shared knowledge and project history. This file is committed alongside your code, includes author tags, and supports cross-repository continuity, allowing you to switch between projects without losing the thread of past decisions and discussions. Beyond memory, Elephant streamlines critical development tasks. It can generate changelogs by analyzing your Git commit history, proposing semantic version bumps (Major, Minor, Patch) based on conventional commits. It also helps in maintaining up-to-date README files, automatically syncing version badges and command documentation. This results in significant time savings and improved consistency across codebase documentation. Elephant is perfect for engineering teams and individual developers who rely on Claude Code and need an efficient way to manage project context, automate documentation, and ensure knowledge sharing. It's a simple, file-based system with a one-line install and no cloud dependency, making it secure and easy to integrate into existing workflows.
