##### claude-mem for Cowork 🧠

Claude started remembering Cowork tasks today — this release takes it further.

###### New: claude-mem-cowork plugin
A second plugin in the marketplace, built for **Cowork** (native Claude app — mobile, web, desktop cloud sessions):

- Hooks capture tool use in ephemeral Cowork containers and stream fragments to cmem.ai, where Pro runs the observer server-side
- Compiled observations are injected into every new session and every spawned agent
- **Fail-soft by design**: no API key → silent no-op; cmem.ai unreachable → events spool locally and flush later; every hook exits 0 unconditionally
- Credential redaction hardened: short and whitespace-bearing values, any Authorization scheme, Cookie headers, full URI userinfo
- mem-search + mem-setup skills bundled

Install in any Cowork session:
```
/plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem-cowork@thedotmack
```
Then say "set up claude-mem".
