What it does

dino reduces AI context waste by 60-80% through lazy loading, focus detection, and session state tracking. It provides MCP tools, hooks, and skills that make Claude Code sessions more efficient.

• Session tracking - Persists focus, blockers, and progress across sessions
• Lazy context - Defers file loading until actually needed
• Smart hooks - Tracks edits, detects focus areas, classifies changes
• 21 workflow skills - From /spec (requirements) to /fossil (commit)
• Ralph Loop - Fresh-context iterations for complex multi-story tasks
• Package validation - Security scanning before dependency installation

Installation

bun add -g dino-spec

Usage

cd your-project
dino init

This sets up:

• .dino/ directory with session state
• .claude/rules/dino/ behavior rules
• .claude/skills/dino.*/ workflow skills
• .claude/settings.json MCP server config + hooks

Requirements

• Bun >= 1.0.0
• Claude Code CLI

Key Commands

dino init              # Initialize in project
dino status            # Show session state
dino hooks check       # Validate hook configuration
dino mcp serve         # Start MCP server
dino mcp doctor        # Diagnose MCP issues

Development

node build.js          # Build
bun run vitest run     # Test
bun --watch bin/dino.js  # Dev mode
