Field notes
Setup adds agent hooks and a Git post-commit hook, and keeps its event data outside the repository’s tracked files. The page describes append-only JSONL storage and offers a user-wide storage option; its installation instructions require Python 3.10 or newer. Claude Code is listed as supported, while two other integrations are experimental and have incompletely documented hook payloads.
