Golden Thread vault memory and scoped rule checks ↗

Golden Thread keeps project memory in an Obsidian vault for Claude Code sessions, with procedures for recording decisions, resuming work and handing off unfinished tasks. It also uses hooks to check selected rules. The README now identifies plugin v0.21.0, correcting our earlier v0.20.5 reference, and distinguishes validated rules from reminders. It may help teams repeatedly rebuilding project context. Its token-saving results are author-reported, and the hooks do not stop an already-running process with your privileges. Current has not installed or independently audited it.
