Finish What You Start — Context engineering for Claude Code. Sessions last 20+ exchanges instead of crashing at 7.
# Add to your Claude Code skills

Sessions that last. AI that learns. Features that ship.
Navigator is a Claude Code plugin that implements context engineering for AI-assisted development.
Instead of loading all your documentation upfront (and crashing at exchange 7), Navigator loads what you need, when you need it—keeping 94% of your context window available for actual work.
For developers using Claude Code who want sessions that finish features instead of crash mid-way.
You know the pattern:
Exchange 5: Claude forgets your recent changes
Exchange 7: Hallucinations start ("that function doesn't exist")
Exchange 8: "Context limit reached"
Restart. Reload. Re-explain everything. Repeat.
You loaded 150k tokens of documentation "just in case."
You used 8k.
The rest? Noise drowning out signal.
Navigator implements context engineering—load what you need, when you need it.
| Metric | Without Navigator | With Navigator | |--------|-------------------|----------------| | Tokens loaded | 150,000 | 12,000 | | Session length | 5-7 exchanges | 20+ exchanges | | Context at end | 95% (crashed) | 35% (comfortable) | | Token savings | — | 92% |
Result: Sessions that actually finish what they start.
Navigator v5.0 adds Theory of Mind—Claude learns .
nav-profile: Remembers your preferences across sessions
"Remember I prefer concise explanations"
→ Applied in future sessions
→ Auto-learns from corrections
nav-diagnose: Catches collaboration drift
Same correction twice → Quality check triggered
"You're not getting this" → Re-anchoring prompt
Loop Mode (v5.1): Run until done
"Run until done: add user authentication"
→ Structured completion with progress tracking
→ Dual-condition exit (heuristics + explicit signal)
→ Stagnation detection prevents infinite loops
Knowledge Graph (v6.0): Project memory that persists
"What do we know about auth?"
→ Unified search across tasks, SOPs, system docs
→ Experiential memory: patterns, pitfalls, decisions
→ Auto-surfaces relevant context on session start
Navigator is a superset. Everything you'd expect, plus context engineering.
