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:

```
claude plugin marketplace add yizhao95/prov_ledger
claude plugin install provledger@provledger
```

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.

What's your worst "the agent did it again" story? I collect them now —

professionally.
