LACP v0.4.0 is out - added a "thinking partner" layer to the agent control plane.

Most AI workflows optimize for output.
This optimizes for how you think before, during, and after a session:

→ focus brief injected at session start (what problem, what I believe, what's undecided, 30-day goal)
→ thinking nudge detects bare questions and prompts you to state your position first
→ blind spot analysis surfaces unchallenged assumptions before session ends
→ weekly reflection pulls your session history to ask "what pattern keeps recurring?"
→ 3 context modes: thinking-partner, implementation, review each phase maps to a hook event - orient (SessionStart), think (UserPromptSubmit), challenge (Stop), reflect (CLI). fully composable.

Also: LACP is now public + installable via homebrew.

Session Start (automatic)

When you open Claude Code in any project, session_start.py fires and:

1. Injects your focus brieffrom~/.lacp/focus.mdinto the system context — so Claude knows what you're working on, what you believe, and what decisions are open

2. Loads the context mode if LACP_CONTEXT_MODE=thinking-partner is set in your .env - this tells Claude to challenge your thinking, seek counterarguments, and end exchanges with "what are you not seeing?"

3. Warns if your focus brief is stale

During the Session

- Thinking nudge (thinking_nudge.py) fires on UserPromptSubmit — if you ask a bare question like "What should I do about X?" without stating your position, it nudges you to state your thinking first.
Has a cooldown so it doesn't nag every prompt.

- This only activates if LACP_THINKING_NUDGE=1 or
LACP_CONTEXT_MODE=thinking-partner

Session End (automatic)

When Claude tries to stop, stop_quality_gate.py fires:

1.Quality gate— existing rationalization detection

2.Blind spot analysis— if LACP_BLIND_SPOT_ENABLED=1, asks "what assumptions weren't challenged?" and surfaces them as a system message before the session ends

Weekly (manual)

Run lacp-reflect to review your week - it pulls your provenance chain, shows session counts per project, and generates reflection prompts like "What did I defer or avoid?
