Quick Install

**The Problem:** During long coding sessions, Claude Code compacts the conversation to stay within context limits. After compaction, Claude loses all memory of your project's AGENTS.md, the file that defines your coding conventions, forbidden commands, architectural decisions, multi-agent coordination rules, and everything else that keeps Claude on the rails. The result: Claude starts freelancing, ignoring your rules, deleting files you told it never to delete, and generally going on a post-compaction rampage.
**The Solution:** A hook system that detects compaction events and injects a short plain-text reminder telling Claude to re-read AGENTS.md before doing anything else. One install, zero maintenance, works globally across all your projects.
