Usual gives coding agents a memory of your decisions

Field notes

Usual extracts decisions from local Claude and Codex conversations, preserving the question, answer, and context before consulting them during later coding sessions. Its examples include choosing SQLite for a personal tool, using a native browser API instead of adding a dependency, and pausing before deleting data. The page describes Autopilot, Check-in, and Escalation modes, while reserving current permission for deletion, spending, publishing, and sharing. Installation guidance names Python 3.11+.
