It's essentially a log viewer with an All/Mine filter.</p>\n<p style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;color:#ef4444;\"><strong>Problem:</strong> It's just a log, not a tool. No actionable value.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div style=\"background:#2d2d2d;padding:16px;border-radius:6px;margin-bottom:16px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#98c379;margin:0 0 12px 0;\">Your Insight: Context is King</h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.6;\">You're right that <strong>context</strong> is the most valuable artifact of a vibe coding session. Currently:</p>\n<ul style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8;\">\n<li>Context lives in Claude's transcript (opaque JSON blob)</li>\n<li>When session compacts, older context is summarized and lost</li>\n<li>No way to fork, branch, or return to a specific context state</li>\n<li>No way to share context between sessions or users</li>\n<li>No analysis of what context was most useful</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\n<div style=\"background:#2d2d2d;padding:16px;border-radius:6px;margin-bottom:16px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#61afef;margin:0 0 12px 0;\">Vision: Context-Centric Session Management</h3>\n\n<h4 style=\"color:#c678dd;margin:16px 0 8px 0;\">1. Session as a Named Entity</h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#9ca3af;\">Instead of anonymous sessions, let users <strong>name and describe</strong> sessions:</p>\n<pre style=\"background:#1a1a2e;padding:12px;border-radius:4px;margin:8px 0;color:#e0e0e0;\">\"Feature: Kontask choices UI\"\n\"Bugfix: SSE reconnection loop\"\n\"Research: Webflow API rate limits\"</pre>\n\n<h4 style=\"color:#c678dd;margin:16px 0 8px 0;\">2. Context Snapshots</h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#9ca3af;\">Capture context at key moments:</p>\n<ul style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding-left:20px;color:#9ca3af;\">\n<li><strong>Bookmark</strong> - \"Claude understands X now, save this\"</li>\n<li><strong>Fork</strong> - Branch from this point to explore alternatives</li>\n<li><strong>Restore</strong> - Return to a previous context state</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4 style=\"color:#c678dd;margin:16px 0 8px 0;\">3. Context Analysis</h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#9ca3af;\">Surface insights from session history:</p>\n<ul style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding-left:20px;color:#9ca3af;\">\n<li>Files most frequently referenced</li>\n<li>Patterns in successful vs failed tasks</li>\n<li>Token usage trends (when context gets bloated)</li>\n<li>\"Context health\" indicators</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h4 style=\"color:#c678dd;margin:16px 0 8px 0;\">4.
