Someone asks in chat why the churn model splits 70/30 — wasn't it the other way round? You scroll back through four months of threads, find three conversations that nearly say it, and give up.
That's the problem provLedger solves. It's a Claude Code plugin that keeps a decision ledger for your project: every change records why it was made —
your words, the email or meeting that settled it, the agent's own reading,
kept apart and never blended.
Two things make it different from a notes file:
- It surfaces rejected paths. Before anyone edits something, a hook shows not just why things are the way they are, but what was tried and dropped. The half of history a diff never shows.
- It's honest about gaps. Every answer cites the record id it rests on. When nothing was recorded, it says so — instead of making things up. (I learned this the hard way: an earlier version had a bug that silently dropped writes. A memory tool that forgets is worse than no memory tool — it teaches the agent false confidence. Fixed in 0.4.8.)

Honest numbers: 199 unique cloners in 14 days, 26 stars, zero new stars in
the window. Stars are a souvenir metric for CLI tools — the real signal is
that clones spike on release days, i.e. existing users updating.
