think

Personal context manager for Claude Code. Stop repeating yourself.

What is this?

think manages your personal preferences, patterns, and memory for Claude Code. Instead of repeating "use bun not npm" or "be direct, skip the fluff" every session, configure it once and Claude remembers.

It also generates project-level context — file trees, code signatures, and knowledge base docs — so Claude deeply understands your codebase without you explaining it.

Install

``bash


With bun (recommended)

bun add -g claude-think

With npm

npm install -g claude-think
`

Quick Start

`bash


First run launches setup wizard automatically

think

Or run setup directly

think setup

Generate project context (run from your project directory)

think context

Start using Claude - your context is automatically loaded

claude
`

How it works

1. Your preferences live in ~/.think/profiles// (markdown files)
2. think auto-syncs to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md which Claude reads at session start
3. think context scans your project and writes to ~/.claude/projects//CLAUDE.md
4. Zero project pollution — everything lives in ~/.think and ~/.claude

Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| think | Launch interactive TUI |
| think setup | Interactive profile wizard (re-runnable) |
| think switch | Switch profile + auto-sync |
| think context | Generate project context for current directory |
| think learn "..." | Add a learning + auto-sync |
| think status | Show profile, tokens, project context status |

$3

Scans your project and generates a context file Claude reads automatically:

`bash
think context # Default 12k token budget
think context --budget 20000 # Larger budget
think context --dry-run # Preview without writing
`

Output includes:
- Project overview (runtime, frameworks, tooling)
- Token-aware adaptive file tree
- Code map (function/type signatures)
- Key files (full source for important files)
- Knowledge base (from .think/knowledge/*.md)

Configure with .think.yaml in your project root (optional — works with zero config).

Profiles

Switch between different configurations for work, personal projects, or clients:

`bash
think switch work # Switch profile (auto-syncs)
`

Press P in the TUI to manage profiles interactively (create, delete, switch).

TUI

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|

| 1-6 | Jump to section |
| ↑↓ / jk | Navigate / scroll |

| r | Rename |
| s | Sync CLAUDE.md |
| p | Preview CLAUDE.md |

| / | Search all files |
| ? | Help |
| q | Quit |

- Preferences — Tools, patterns, anti-patterns
- Memory — Learnings that persist across sessions
- Skills — Custom skill definitions for Claude
