# Arscontexta plugin for Claude Code
Arscontexta is a [[Claude Code]] plugin that automatically generates personalized knowledge management systems through conversation. It creates a persistent thinking infrastructure — a "second brain for your agent" — so Claude remembers your knowledge structure, methodologies, and preferences between sessions instead of starting blank each time.
The name references "Revelatio memoriae" (revelation of memory), framing the project within a historical tradition of external thinking systems — from Llull's combinatorial wheels to Bruno's memory theaters — now executable by LLMs.
## How It Works
A 20-minute conversational setup where you answer 2-4 questions about your domain. The engine then generates a complete Markdown-based vault tailored to your needs:
- **`self/`**: Agent identity and methodology
- **`notes/`**: The actual knowledge graph
- **`ops/`**: Operational tracking
## Key Features
- **Research-backed design**: 249 interconnected research claims from cognitive science, Zettelkasten, Cornell Note-Taking, and agent architecture principles
- **Processing pipeline**: Six phases — Record, Reduce, Reflect, Reweave, Verify, Rethink — each spawning fresh subagents to prevent context window degradation
- **Automation hooks**: Session orientation, write validation, auto-commit, and session capture
- **Domain-native commands**: Generated skills use vocabulary matching your field (e.g., `/claim` instead of `/note` for researchers)
- **Maps of Content**: Hierarchical navigation at hub, domain, and topic levels
- **Semantic search**: Optional qmd integration for concept matching
- **Multi-domain support**: Expand systems to cover new knowledge areas post-setup
