"Automatic" logging in Claude Code

Log Reminder Hook for Claude Code

A UserPromptSubmit hook that nudges Claude to log session work before context compaction wipes it out.

The Problem

Claude Code instructions like "proactively log your work" in CLAUDE.md are unreliable. Claude gets absorbed in the task and skips logging. When context compaction hits, the session's work history is lost.

A PreCompact hook can't solve this either: by the time compaction triggers, the context window is nearly full. Claude wouldn't have room to reason about what happened and write a meaningful log entry.

Claude Code tasks: project-level and persistent across sessions

Claude Code Persistent Task Lists

This guide explains how to set up task lists that persist across Claude Code sessions for a specific project.

How It Works

Claude Code's task system stores tasks in ~/.claude/tasks/<task-list-id>/. By default, each session gets a random UUID. To persist tasks across sessions, you set the CLAUDE_CODE_TASK_LIST_ID environment variable to a consistent ID for your project.

One-Time Setup (Already Done)

Make reclink work...?
// These seem to fix weird errors in the reclink command in Stata (i.e., it doesn't like some characters
// Run this basic logic through your using and master strings.
// This table is your friend: http://www.asciitable.com/
** This one gets rid of all non-alphanumeric
replace yourString = ustrregexra(yourString ,`"[^a-zA-Z0-9]"',"")
** Old, but still works
replace yourString = subinstr(yourString, "$", "",.)
replace yourString = subinstr(yourString, char(44), "",.)
replace yourString = subinstr(yourString, "+", "",.)
replace yourString = subinstr(yourString, char(34), "",.)
