Data Flow: Context Recall
1. User writes message in Claude Code
│
▼
2. user-prompt-submit hook executes
│
├─ Load config from .claude/context-recall-config.env
├─ Detect PROJECT_ID (git config or remote URL hash)
├─ Check if CONTEXT_RECALL_ENABLED=true
│
▼
3. HTTP GET /api/conversation-contexts/recall
│
├─ Headers: Authorization: Bearer {JWT_TOKEN}
├─ Query: ?project_id={ID}&limit=10&min_relevance_score=5.0
│
▼
4. API processes request
│
├─ Authenticate JWT token
├─ Query database:
│ SELECT * FROM conversation_contexts
│ WHERE project_id = {ID}
│ AND relevance_score >= 5.0
│ ORDER BY relevance_score DESC, created_at DESC
│ LIMIT 10
│
▼
5. API returns JSON array of contexts
[
{
"id": "uuid",
"title": "Session: 2025-01-15",
"dense_summary": "...",
"relevance_score": 8.5,
"context_type": "session_summary",
"metadata": {...}
},
...
]
│
▼
6. Hook formats contexts as Markdown
│
├─ Parse JSON response
├─ Format each context with title, score, type
├─ Include summary and metadata
│
▼
7. Hook outputs formatted markdown
## 📚 Previous Context
### 1. Session: 2025-01-15 (Score: 8.5/10)
*Type: session_summary*
[Summary content...]
│
▼
8. Claude Code injects context before user message
│
▼
9. Claude processes message WITH context
Data Flow: Context Saving
1. User completes task in Claude Code
│
▼
2. task-complete hook executes
│
├─ Load config from .claude/context-recall-config.env
├─ Detect PROJECT_ID
├─ Gather task information:
│ ├─ Git branch (git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
│ ├─ Git commit (git rev-parse --short HEAD)
│ ├─ Changed files (git diff --name-only)
│ └─ Timestamp
│
▼
3. Build context payload
{
"project_id": "{PROJECT_ID}",
"context_type": "session_summary",
"title": "Session: 2025-01-15T14:30:00Z",
"dense_summary": "Task completed on branch...",
"relevance_score": 7.0,
"metadata": {
"git_branch": "main",
"git_commit": "a1b2c3d",
"files_modified": "file1.py,file2.py",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T14:30:00Z"
}
}
│
▼
4. HTTP POST /api/conversation-contexts
│
├─ Headers:
│ ├─ Authorization: Bearer {JWT_TOKEN}
│ └─ Content-Type: application/json
├─ Body: [context payload]
│
▼
5. API processes request
│
├─ Authenticate JWT token
├─ Validate payload
├─ Insert into database:
│ INSERT INTO conversation_contexts
│ (id, project_id, context_type, title,
│ dense_summary, relevance_score, metadata)
│ VALUES (...)
│
▼
6. Build project state payload
{
"project_id": "{PROJECT_ID}",
"state_type": "task_completion",
"state_data": {
"last_task_completion": "2025-01-15T14:30:00Z",
"last_git_commit": "a1b2c3d",
"last_git_branch": "main",
"recent_files": "file1.py,file2.py"
}
}
│
▼
7. HTTP POST /api/project-states
│
├─ Headers: Authorization: Bearer {JWT_TOKEN}
├─ Body: [state payload]
│
▼
8. API updates project state
│
├─ Upsert project state record
├─ Merge state_data with existing
│
▼
9. Context saved ✓
│
▼
10. Available for future recall

Project Detection Flow
Hook needs PROJECT_ID
│
├─ Check: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_ID set?
│ └─ Yes → Use it
│ └─ No → Continue detection
│
├─ Check: git config --local claude.projectid
│ └─ Found → Use it
│ └─ Not found → Continue detection
│
├─ Get: git config --get remote.origin.url
│ └─ Found → Hash URL → Use as PROJECT_ID
│ └─ Not found → No PROJECT_ID available
│
└─ If no PROJECT_ID:
└─ Silent exit (no context available)

Error Handling
Hook Execution
│
├─ Config file missing?
│ └─ Silent exit (context recall unavailable)
│
├─ PROJECT_ID not detected?
│ └─ Silent exit (no project context)
│
├─ JWT_TOKEN missing?
│ └─ Silent exit (authentication unavailable)
│
├─ API unreachable? (timeout 3-5s)
│ └─ Silent exit (API offline)
│
├─ API returns error (401, 404, 500)?
│ └─ Silent exit (log if debug enabled)
│
└─ Success
└─ Process and inject context
Philosophy: Hooks NEVER break Claude Code. All failures are silent.

Security Model
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Security Boundaries │
│ │
│ 1. Authentication │
│ ├─ JWT tokens (24h expiry) │
│ ├─ Bcrypt password hashing │
│ └─ Bearer token in Authorization header │
│ │
│ 2. Authorization │
│ ├─ Project-level access control │
│ ├─ User can only access own projects │
│ └─ Token includes user_id claim │
│ │
│ 3. Data Protection │
│ ├─ Config file gitignored │
│ ├─ JWT tokens never in version control │
│ └─ HTTPS recommended for production │
│ │

Scalability Considerations
Database Optimization:
├─ Indexes on (project_id, relevance_score)
├─ Indexes on (project_id, context_type)
├─ Indexes on created_at for time-based queries
└─ JSONB indexes on metadata for complex queries
Caching Strategy:
├─ Redis for frequently-accessed contexts
├─ Cache key: project_id + min_score + limit
├─ TTL: 5 minutes
└─ Invalidate on new context creation
Query Optimization:
├─ Limit results (MAX_CONTEXTS)
├─ Filter early (MIN_RELEVANCE_SCORE)
├─ Sort in database (not application)
└─ Paginate for large result sets
This architecture provides a robust, scalable, and secure system for context recall in Claude Code sessions.
