Navigator
Finish What You Start
Sessions that last. AI that learns. Features that ship.
What is Navigator?
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.
The Loop You're Stuck In
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.
Break The Loop
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.
And Your AI Gets Smarter
Navigator v5.0 adds Theory of Mind—Claude learns you.
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
Same Workflows. More Capabilities.
Navigator is a superset. Everything you'd expect, plus context engineering.
| Feature | Navigator | Others | |---------|-----------|--------| | Structured workflows | ✅ 27 skills | ✅ | | Component generation | ✅ | ✅ | | Test generation | ✅ | ✅ | | Session longevity | 20+ exchanges | 5-7 exchanges | | Token savings | 92% verified | None | | Code simplification | ✅ | ❌ | | Task Mode | ✅ | ❌ | | Theory of Mind | ✅ | ❌ | | Knowledge Graph | ✅ | ❌ | | Loop mode | ✅ | ❌ | | OpenTelemetry metrics | ✅ | ❌ | | Figma MCP integration | ✅ | ❌ |

Quick Start
Install
# Claude Code plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add alekspetrov/navigator
/plugin install navigator
# Restart Claude Code
Initialize
"Initialize Navigator in this project"
Start Every Session
"Start my Navigator session"
That's it. Navigator handles the rest.
What You Get
19 skills that auto-invoke on natural language:
"Start my Navigator session" → Session with 92% savings
"Create a React component for profile" → Component + tests + styles
"Add an API endpoint for posts" → Endpoint + validation + tests
"Create context marker: checkpoint" → 97% context compression
"Run until done: add dark mode" → Loop mode completion
No commands to memorize. Skills detect intent and execute.
Stop Restarting. Start Shipping.
Your sessions crash because context management is broken by default.
Navigator fixes this with context engineering—the same principles Anthropic recommends.
92% token savings. 20+ exchange sessions. Verified metrics.
/plugin marketplace add alekspetrov/navigator
/plugin install navigator
Finish what you start.
Troubleshooting
Skill loads but prints docs instead of executing
/plugin update navigator
Then retry. Outdated plugin version.
