Hivemind wants Claude Code to find your teammate's fix when a command fails

Version 0.7.166 restores proactive team recall with a local search index, failure-triggered pointers and prompt recall initially set to observation only.

Why now The November 4 release adds a concrete way to surface a teammate's earlier solution without waiting for Claude Code to search shared memory itself.

A failed command could bring up the fix a teammate already found. Hivemind 0.7.166, released November 4 at 10:49 UTC, restores proactive team recall for Claude Code. Activeloop’s implementation looks for relevant condensed session summaries and, when its relevance checks pass, supplies an attributed teammate pointer without requiring the agent to initiate a memory search.

Hivemind is a shared-memory integration, rather than a new coding model. The new recall path uses a local lexical index with phrase matching and no embeddings. Background synchronization still reads the cloud-backed memory table, so the release’s local lookup should not be confused with an entirely offline service.

Failure recall is on; prompt recall starts in shadow mode

According to the tagged guide, failed-command recall is enabled by default. Prompt-triggered recall initially logs potential matches without injecting them; users can enable it with hivemind recall mode on --prompt. The documented limits allow at most five injections per session and avoid repeating the same summary.

The cache excludes the user’s own summaries. It refreshes at session start and can refresh during long sessions once it is older than 15 minutes. Teammates’ summaries are rewritten at specified event and time intervals, so a freshly discovered fix is not guaranteed to appear immediately. A retrieved pointer also does not establish that the proposed fix is correct for the current failure.

The new proactive triggers are specific to Claude Code. Other supported agents receive revised summary instructions, which is a narrower change. The implementation discussion identifies Claude Code 2.0.56 or newer for the separate failure event and describes a compatibility fallback for 2.0.55; it does not establish universal platform validation.

Installation also connects session capture

The documented npm route requires Node.js 22 or newer: install @deeplake/hivemind, then run hivemind install --only claude. Setup wires host integrations, asks for consent before browser sign-in to Deeplake and requires restarting the assistant. Claude Code also has a native plugin marketplace route.

Users should understand what they connect: Hivemind captures session prompts, tool calls and responses into Deeplake. Proactive recall adds a local copy of teammates’ condensed summaries, removable with hivemind recall clear. Setting HIVEMIND_CAPTURE=false disables capture, but also limits recall-cache refreshing to session start. The reviewed sources do not establish a price for the cloud service; assistant account requirements and costs remain separate.
