Introducing ContextMap: Session Intelligence for Claude Code

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Have you ever found yourself in an hours-long architectural refactoring session with Claude Code, only to pause and think: “Wait, what did I actually modify three steps ago? Why did we go down this path again?”

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce , a tool specifically designed to solve this exact problem.

The Problem with Continuous Coding

When interacting with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, your terminal becomes a massive, scrolling transcript of intents, failures, explorations, and successes. As projects grow in complexity—from standard web apps to computational biology foundation models—it’s incredibly easy to lose the overarching “arc” of what you’ve accomplished.

By the end of the day or when you open your laptop the next morning, you’ve forgotten the sequence of critical project decisions. You end up having to re-read your commit logs or scroll endlessly through your terminal history.

Enter ContextMap: Your Project’s Memory

ContextMap acts as your project’s memory. After you finish a coding session, it automatically analyzes the Claude Code transcripts to map out the evolution of your work. It synthesizes a beautiful, self-contained HTML report that reconstructs your journey—with emphasis on how each prompt evolved from the others.

Key Features

Timeline Reconstruction: See every step of your project’s evolution displayed as a logical, chronological timeline.
Decisions & Triggers: Understand why you shifted focus (e.g., “OOM crash during training → reconsidered our tokenization strategy”).
Where We Left Off: An instant snapshot capturing your current state, key decisions made, and outstanding concerns.
Open Threads: Automatically catches dangling ideas you mentioned but haven’t implemented yet.
Zero Configuration: Designed to piggy-back off the existing claude CLI authentication, so there are no extra API keys to set up!

What it looks like

We’ve designed ContextMap’s output to look and act like a high-end, premium report. You get click-to-expand cards, clear icon indicators for successes or failures, and a clean, warm-dark aesthetic.

Get Started Today

ContextMap is available as an open-source tool. To get started, you can literally run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ykai16/ContextMap/master/install.sh | bash

Then, just type contextmap from any repository where you’ve been working with Claude Code. Let the AI map the AI!
