What is GHE?
GHE is a Claude Code plugin that transforms GitHub Issues into a persistent memory system for AI-assisted development. Your work survives context compaction, your team stays synchronized, and nothing gets lost.
| Multi-session continuity | Automated workflow | Team collaboration | Perfect recall |

| Continue where you left off | DEV → TEST → REVIEW | Humans + AI in sync | Every detail preserved |
The Element
An Element is a unit of information stored as a single message/reply to a GitHub Issue in the issue tracker. Every piece of information in GHE is an Element.
The power of this system: GitHub threads allow you to isolate and preserve the context of each task. Human developers and AI agents can discuss progress while keeping the conversation focused and on track, instead of mixing different issues together.
At any moment, you can tell Claude: "Let's switch to working on issue #42" - and Claude instantly gets up to speed by reading that issue's thread. It spawns a subagent to read and summarize the thread, so it won't waste your tokens or context memory. Each issue is a self-contained knowledge base for its task.
There are 3 types of Elements:
