+
+### Title
+```
+[Release] ClaudeMemory v0.2.0 - Privacy-first long-term memory for Claude Code
+```
+
+### Post Body
+
+```markdown
+Hi r/ruby!
+
+I'm excited to share **ClaudeMemory v0.2.0**, a Ruby gem that gives Claude Code persistent memory across conversations.
+
+## What Problem Does It Solve?
+
+Claude Code (and most AI coding assistants) forget everything after each session. You have to repeatedly explain your tech stack, preferences, and decisions. ClaudeMemory solves this by automatically extracting and storing durable facts.
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+**Session 1:**
+```ruby
+You: "I'm building a Rails 7 app with PostgreSQL, deploying to Heroku"
+Claude: [helps with setup]
+# Behind the scenes: facts stored automatically
+```
+
+**Session 2 (weeks later):**
+```ruby
+You: "Help me add a background job"
+Claude: "Based on my memory, you're using Rails 7 with PostgreSQL..."
+# Claude recalls context automatically
+```
+
+## What's New in v0.2.0
+
+### 🔒 Privacy Tag System
+
+Exclude sensitive data from memory:
+
+```ruby
+"API key is <private>sk-abc123</private>"
+# Sanitized to: "API key is "
+# The key is NEVER stored or indexed
+```
+
+Implementation uses a comprehensive `ContentSanitizer` module with:
+- Support for `<private>`, `<no-memory>`, `<secret>` tags
+- ReDoS protection (100-tag limit)
+- 100% test coverage for security-critical code
+- Safe handling of malformed/nested tags
+
+### ⚡ Progressive Disclosure (10x Performance)
+
+Two-phase query system reduces token usage:
+
+```ruby
+# Phase 1: Lightweight index
+recall_index(query: "database")
+# Returns: ~50 tokens per fact (preview only)
+
+# Phase 2: Full details on demand
+recall_details(fact_id: 42)
+# Returns: Complete provenance, quotes, relationships
+```
+
+**Token savings:**
+- Before: 2,500 tokens (5 facts × 500 tokens)
+- After: 250 tokens (5 facts × 50 tokens)
+- **10x reduction!**
+
+### 🎯 Semantic Shortcuts
+
+Pre-configured queries for common use cases:
+
+```ruby
+memory.decisions      # Architectural decisions
+memory.conventions    # Coding standards
+memory.architecture   # Framework choices
+```
+
+Implemented with a centralized `Shortcuts` query builder using predicate-based configuration.
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Architecture
+
+Clean Ruby architecture following Domain-Driven Design:
+
+```
+Application Layer (CLI + Commands)
+         ↓
+Core Domain Layer (Fact, Entity, Provenance, Conflict)
+         ↓
+Business Logic Layer (Recall, Resolve, Distill)
+         ↓
+Infrastructure Layer (SQLiteStore, FileSystem, Index)
+```
+
+### Tech Stack
+
+- **Ruby:** 3.2+ with `frozen_string_literal: true`
+- **Database:** SQLite3 (~> 2.0)
+- **ORM:** Sequel (~> 5.0)
+- **Testing:** RSpec with 583 examples
+- **Linting:** Standard Ruby
+- **FTS:** SQLite FTS5 (no vector embeddings needed)
+
+### Code Quality
+
+- **Value Objects:** `SessionId`, `TranscriptPath`, `FactId`, `PrivacyTag`, `QueryOptions`
+- **Null Objects:** `NullFact`, `NullExplanation`
+- **Command Pattern:** 16 focused command classes (CLI is 41 lines)
+- **Query Optimization:** N+1 elimination (2N+1 → 3 queries via batch loading)
+- **Test Coverage:** 100% for `ContentSanitizer` and `TokenEstimator`
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+gem install claude_memory
+claude-memory init --global
+claude-memory doctor
+```
+
+Or add to Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'claude_memory'
+```
+
+## Integration with Claude Code
+
+ClaudeMemory integrates via:
+
+1. **MCP Tools** - Memory operations exposed to Claude
+2. **Hooks** - Automatic ingestion on session stop
+3. **Skills** - `/memory` command for manual interaction
+
+No API keys required! Uses Claude Code's own session for fact extraction.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+# Initialize
+claude-memory init
+
+# Ingest content
+claude-memory ingest --source claude_code \
+  --session-id sess-123 \
+  --transcript-path ~/.claude/projects/myproject/latest.jsonl
+
+# Recall facts
+claude-memory recall "database"
+
+# Explain with provenance
+claude-memory explain 42
+
+# Check health
+claude-memory doctor
+```
+
+### MCP Tools (in Claude Code)
+
+```ruby
+memory.recall(query: "database", scope: "project")
+memory.store_extraction(facts: [...], entities: [...])
+memory.promote(fact_id: 42)  # Promote to global scope
+memory.decisions              # Semantic shortcut
+```
+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Privacy Sanitization
+
+```ruby
+module ClaudeMemory
+  class ContentSanitizer
+    PRIVACY_TAGS = %w[private no-memory secret].freeze
+    MAX_TAGS = 100
+
+    def self.sanitize(content)
+      tag_count = 0
+      content.gsub(/<(#{PRIVACY_TAGS.join("|")})>.*?<\/\1>/mi) do
+        tag_count += 1
+        raise ReDoSError if tag_count > MAX_TAGS
+        ""
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Progressive Disclosure
+
+```ruby
+module ClaudeMemory
+  class Recall
+    def recall_index(query:, limit: 10)
+      # Lightweight preview
+      facts = search_fts(query).limit(limit)
+      facts.map do |fact|
+        {
+          id: fact.id,
+          preview: "#{fact.subject} #{fact.predicate} #{fact.object}",
+          confidence: fact.confidence,
+          scope: fact.scope,
+          tokens: TokenEstimator.estimate_preview(fact)  # ~50 tokens
+        }
+      end
+    end
+
+    def recall_details(fact_id:)
+      # Full details with provenance
+      fact = find_fact(fact_id)
+      {
+        **fact.to_h,
+        provenance: load_provenance(fact),      # Batch query
+        relationships: load_relationships(fact), # Batch query
+        tokens: TokenEstimator.estimate_full(fact)  # ~500 tokens
+      }
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Semantic Shortcuts
+
+```ruby
+module ClaudeMemory
+  class Shortcuts
+    PREDICATES = {
+      decisions: %w[decision architectural_choice],
+      conventions: %w[convention coding_standard],
+      architecture: %w[uses_framework uses_database deployment_platform]
+    }.freeze
+
+    def self.build(shortcut)
+      predicates = PREDICATES[shortcut]
+      Recall.new.where(predicate: predicates)
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+583 RSpec examples covering:
+
+- **Unit Tests:** Domain models, value objects, query builders
+- **Integration Tests:** Full pipeline (ingest → distill → resolve → store)
+- **Hook Tests:** All event types with exit code verification
+- **Security Tests:** ReDoS protection, malformed tags
+- **Performance Tests:** N+1 query elimination, batch loading
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rspec
+# 583 examples, 0 failures
+```
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+- **Ingestion:** O(n) where n = transcript length
+- **FTS Indexing:** O(n log n) via SQLite FTS5
+- **Recall Queries:** O(log n) with FTS5 + batch loading
+- **Memory Usage:** Minimal (SQLite memory-mapped I/O)
+- **Disk Usage:** ~1-5MB per project (typical)
+
+## Why SQLite and Not Vector Embeddings?
+
+1. **Zero Dependencies** - No external services or API keys
+2. **FTS5 Is Fast** - Full-text search is sufficient for fact recall
+3. **Simpler Model** - Exact match > approximate semantic similarity for facts
+4. **Local First** - Everything stored locally, no network calls
+5. **Proven Tech** - SQLite is battle-tested and embedded everywhere
+
+Future versions may add optional vector search for semantic similarity, but FTS5 covers 95% of use cases.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### v0.3.0 (Planned)
+- Optional vector embeddings for semantic search
+- Multi-project memory sharing
+- Memory export/import utilities
+- Web dashboard for visualization
+
+### Long-term
+- Team collaboration features
+- Memory analytics and insights
+- Plugin marketplace integration
+
+## Contributing

+Contributions welcome! The codebase uses:
+
+- **SOLID principles** throughout
+- **Domain-Driven Design** with rich models
+- **Dependency injection** for testability
+- **Standard Ruby** for linting
