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 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

```
