Your companion isn't locked in the desktop app: a global install brings its memory, skills, and behavior into Claude Code CLI sessions in any terminal.
Global install
From the desktop settings, one action installs the tamag0 layer for Claude Code CLI:
- Skills become available as slash commands in any CLI session.
- Session hooks connect the CLI to the companion's memory: context is primed at session start, relevant memories and practices are injected per prompt, risky commands are checked before execution, and learnings are captured at session end.
- The tamag0 tool server (MCP) exposes the companion's capabilities in the CLI: memory search and writing, domain context switching, golden rules, best practices, reminders, inter-agent dialog, Slack, tasks, and session persistence.
The result: the same companion, whether you talk to it in the app or work with it in a terminal — same memory, same standards, same team.
What the hooks do for a session
- Session start: the companion arrives primed — identity, golden rules, recent memories, pending items.
- Every prompt: memories and best practices relevant to what you asked are injected automatically.
- Before a command runs: blocked command patterns are denied or flagged with the safe alternative.
- After tools run: contextual reminders fire when they match the command that just ran.
- When context compacts: key learnings are saved and restored, so long sessions don't lose their findings.
- Session end: the session is synthesized into memory — the next session knows what this one did.
