ensue-skill: Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything | Hacker News

We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state.

Install in Claude Code:

  /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill
  /plugin install ensue-memory
  # restart Claude Code

What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just string grep). Basically git for your Claude brain.

Developer Setups

• Claude Code On-The-Go - granda where the dev uses a cloud hosted VM, and uses Tailscale tunnel to control it from mobile phones. He runs multiple CC agents on the VM. I think https://exe.dev will be a good fit to spin up virtual machines.
• Happy - Claude Code Mobile Client "Spawn and control multiple Claude Codes in parallel. Happy Coder runs on your hardware, works from your phone and desktop, and costs nothing. Open source."

Ralph Wiggum

What is the Ralph Wiggum Approach?

RW is an AI coding approach that lets you run seriously long-running AI agents (hours, days).

• Bash script
• JSON-based PRD
• progress.txt
• Keep CI green
• Feedback loops

I came across "The Harada Method" used by baseball star Shohei Ohtani via this tweet

The Harada Method was created by Takashi Harada, a Japanese junior high track coach. He took a team ranked last out of 380 schools and, using his system, turned them into the #1 team in the region within 3 years. They held that top spot for the next 6 years.

You start by placing your main goal in the center of an 8x8 grid.

Next, identify 8 critical supporting pillars needed to achieve that goal. These surround the main goal.

then break down each of those 8 pillars into 8 smaller, actionable tasks or daily routines.

This fills out the entire 64-cell grid, turning a massive dream into a concrete, daily action plan.

The method goes far deeper than just technical skills. It forces you to analyze your weaknesses and build confidence. It also has a highlight on service to others, emphasizing that humility and contributing to your community are essential for personal success. The key to the system is daily execution and accountability. Once the 64-cell chart is complete, you turn the tasks and habits into a daily diary and a "Routine Check Sheet." It’s designed to transform abstract intentions into a measurable, daily practice.
