Eklavya

Learn while your agent works — and carry project context forward.

Named for Ekalavya, who mastered archery practicing before a silent statue of his guru. Here, the statue talks back.

Eklavya is a plugin for Claude Code. It does two jobs:

It helps you understand the code Claude writes. It asks you short questions about the work, while the work happens.
It remembers what happened in your project. The next time you open Claude, it can recall what you did last time.

Your learning history and memory are stored on your computer. There is no Eklavya account. Eklavya sends anonymous daily usage counts (including which dashboard sections and explainers are used), never code, paths, names or text. Every field is listed, and eklavya telemetry off stops them. New installs use claude-sonnet-5 through your Claude Code login for memory summaries and prompt feedback, so captured session evidence goes to that model. Memory and data explains the controls.

What you get

Feature	In one line	Read more
Learning	Short questions about the code Claude just wrote.	First session
Memory	Claude remembers your past work in this project.	Memory
Artifacts	Turn any explanation or incident write-up into a page with diagrams, timelines and a status table.	Artifacts
Dashboard	See your progress, streak, memory and pages in the browser, and copy a ready-to-run command for your due reviews.	Dashboard
Report a problem	Tell Claude a question or grade was wrong: it drafts a GitHub issue with paths and code removed, and files it only after you say yes.	How to report one
Dials	Choose what it teaches, when it asks and how hard.	The dials
Commit gate	Optional: pass a quiz before you can commit. The terminal hook also holds commits in linked worktrees.	Commit gate

Learning

Eklavya notices the ideas behind Claude's work, like "database index" or "refresh token". Then it asks you about them.

What it does	How it works	Read more
Asks while you work	One question at a time, in the middle of the task (never in the first five minutes of a session), written so you can answer without having read the code, and so the right option is not the longest, the most detailed or explained in advance, and does not always come first. Answer, say you don't know and get the explanation, or skip and move on; a question that was itself at fault never counts against you, and an automatic question is meant to stay one question.	First session
Asks while agents build	For a larger change, Eklavya asks Claude to hand the building to a background agent (in your task's worktree, one stage at a time for a staged plan) and ask you questions while it works. If Claude starts changing a second file itself, Eklavya reminds it once.	The dials
Grades your answer	Each answer gets a grade and a short explanation.	Grading
Brings topics back	Spaced reviews bring an idea back before you forget it.	Grading
Grows with you	Each project starts easy. Good answers unlock harder questions.	Levels and tiers
Teaches a topic	`/eklavya:learn caching` gives a short lesson, basics first.	Commands
Quizzes on demand	`/eklavya:quiz` asks about this session's work right now, or about a topic, domain or concepts you name.	Commands
Adds new subjects	Comes with git, Node backend, React and web auth. Add more with `/eklavya:pack`.	Concept packs

Memory

Eklavya records what you and Claude do. It turns that into short notes called observations. When you start a new session, Claude gets recent, relevant notes to check against the code.

What it does	How it works	Read more
Captures your work	Saves prompts, file edits and tool calls as you work; unattended `claude -p` runs keep only tool and file activity.	What gets captured
Hides secrets	Skips files like `.env` and keys, even when a read or edit of one fails. Removes tokens and passwords before saving or trimming.	What is never captured
Writes summaries	Groups work into observations and session summaries, using `claude-sonnet-5` on a new install or your saved observer choice.	How observations are made
Recalls history	Gives Claude past work and where the last session left off at session start, on related prompts (not on short ones with fewer than three meaningful words, unless an entry names them), and before it reads a file with history. On prompts and on a resume it skips entries the current session wrote, which Claude already has. The session banner shows the estimated context saved.	How recall works
Search and notes	Ask `/eklavya:memory` about a past change, save a note or fix a wrong entry.	Commands
Shows the savings	Estimates how much smaller recall is than the raw history, counting recall a hook sent. Calls to the memory search and read tools are logged locally.	Savings
Imports Claude Mem	Brings in your history from Claude Mem, up to its schema version 64.	Migrating
Syncs machines	Optional: share memory between your computers through a folder. Files that arrive late are still applied.	Sync

Memory is only evidence. It never marks a topic as learned. Only a real answer does that.

Artifacts

Ask Claude to explain something "as an Eklavya artifact". You get an HTML page with colour-coded diagrams, chosen to fit the idea (sequence, swimlane, state machine, bars and more), that you can print or save as PDF.

What it does	How it works	Read more
Explainer pages	"Explain refresh-token rotation as an Eklavya artifact."	Artifacts skill
Help after a miss	On by default: after a wrong answer, a page restates the question, gives a short answer, and explains the idea with a diagram, in the background. Then correct your answer from it in the dashboard, and the miss counts as right in your accuracy and toward your level.	Correcting a missed answer
One library	Pages are saved on your computer, listed in the dashboard and opened there as tabs; a page made from the Eklavya template scrolls with the dashboard as one page, and its HTML button saves the page itself, free of the viewer's script.	Artifacts dashboard

Dashboard

Run eklavya dashboard to open a local page in your browser. It keeps running in the background, and each session start restarts it if needed. The sidebar's foot shows the version it is running, with links to the docs. A malformed request gets an error reply instead of stopping it. A page left open shows new activity as it happens, including a session summary rewritten in place, and never moves what you are reading. You can also install it as an app and open it from Spotlight, the Dock or the Start menu. On your first visits, tips point out features; dismiss them one by one or switch them off under Settings, then Companion. The archer companion walks toward you with a random verb (Pondering…) while loading and appears beside empty states and feedback; the same tab previews its 24 expressions and its loading walk and has the daily card switch. On a wide window each page sits centred beside the sidebar. It has five parts:

Part	What you can see	Read more
Learning	Accuracy, mastery, missed answers still to be corrected, your streak and its calendar, with the archer beside it and one card the first time you open the page each day, reviews due with a command per project to start them, the top three shown (each run asks the weakest first), weak topics, sessions and projects, each project at its own level.	Learning pages
Memory	A timeline of past work, sessions, projects, savings and health.	Memory pages
Artifacts	Every saved page as a gallery grouped by project, each card showing the page's first diagram.	Artifacts pages
Feedback	Reviews one of your prompts using what later prompts had to add, and offers a better version. On for new installs; existing installs keep their choices. Needs memory and an observer model. The next review waits until you acknowledge or delete the waiting one; the session greeting flags it in amber. It never changes your scores.	Feedback pages
Settings	A switchboard: your settings first, each project's beside them, one tab per category, changed the same way as `eklavya config`.	Settings pages

For a short summary in chat, use /eklavya:progress.

The dials

Each setting works on its own. Memory has its own switch, so you can turn questions off and keep memory on.

Dial	Default	Other choices
`quiz.enabled`	`true`: ask questions	`false`: no questions
`quiz.enforced`	`false`: commit freely	`true`: pass a quiz before a commit
`quiz.panel`	`true`: experimental side panel on supported Claude Code builds	`false`: Claude's question card. Cowork and unsupported hosts use the card.
`focus`	`concept`: the idea behind the code	`project`: this codebase · `learn`: a topic you pick
`feedback.enabled`	`true`: review one of your prompts using what you had to add later	`false`: no prompt review. Needs memory and an observer model.
`cadence`	`as-you-go`: during the task	`end`: after the task
`difficulty`	`auto`: grows with you	`easy`, `medium` or `hard`
`memory.enabled`	`true`: record and recall	`false`: learning only

By default Eklavya asks only in sessions that change code (edit tools or shell commands, in this checkout, a sibling worktree or a repository below the folder you started in; a git pull or branch switch alone does not count), up to four questions per session on its own. Checkpoint questions are at least four minutes apart; questions while background agents build share the budget but skip that gap. /eklavya:quiz can always ask more. Change a dial with /eklavya:mode in Claude Code, eklavya config set in a terminal (eklavya config get quiz.enabled reads one back), or the dashboard's Settings pages. quiz.panel can be changed with eklavya config set quiz.panel false or in Settings; a round you ask for with /eklavya:quiz keeps its topic and length across the panel's Next button, and a miss in the panel starts its explainer page in the background (and so does its orange New to me — Teach me button, which records "I don't know" even with explain_on_wrong off), asking once more and queuing a prompt for Claude only if Claude Code refuses or fails that start twice. A picked answer gets bold text, a thicker border and a filled background; on the desktop app each answer is a numbered card you can click anywhere on, Teach me is a compact button with its whole body clickable, the Other box is a three-line text area, and the header shows the mascot as vector art (the terminal draws the same head in coloured block characters). In the panel's Other box, Enter keeps what you typed and moves the keyboard to Submit answer. A prompt the panel sends Claude shows in your transcript as one short line. /eklavya-panel-demo opens a mock question to try the panel's clicks and a small picture test; nothing it does is recorded. If Claude Code's auto mode denies the panel's tools, allow them as the manual shows, or ask Claude to. See the dials and every setting.

Commands

Command	What it does
`/eklavya:quiz [topic]`	Take a quiz now.
`/eklavya:mode [value]`	Show or change the dials.
`/eklavya:skip`	Skip questions for this session only.
`/eklavya:learn <topic>`	Take a short lesson.
`/eklavya:level [level]`	See your level or pick one.
`/eklavya:pack [topic]`	Add new topics, or topics from your code.
`/eklavya:progress`	See what you know and what is due.
`/eklavya:memory`	Search past work or save a note.
`/eklavya:gate`	See why a commit is blocked.
`/eklavya:setup`	Check the installation without changing settings.

You can also just ask, like "Space out Eklavya's questions". See all commands and the CLI.

Install

With Claude Code and Node.js 22+ with npm on macOS, Linux or Windows:

npm install -g eklavya && eklavya install

The installer uses the defaults without asking settings questions and keeps any choices you already saved. Allow Eklavya's tools in auto mode, then restart Claude Code and start a task. Eklavya updates itself in the background. See Installation options for other setups.
