Elephant memory decoupled: now a standalone plugin
Elephant persistent memory is no longer bundled with Tonone. It is a separate plugin at tonone-ai/elephant. Install it independently if you want cross-session memory.
What changed
Elephant memory has been removed from the Tonone bundle.
Removed:
- -
hooks/elephant-recall.js - -
hooks/elephant-writer.js - -
skills/atlas-elephant/ - -4 hook entries from
plugin.json(1 SessionStart + 3 PostToolUse on Agent/Bash/Skill)
Install separately:
claude plugin install elephant@tonone-aiElephant is now maintained at [tonone-ai/elephant](https://github.com/tonone-ai/elephant) with its own release cycle.
Why
Memory is a cross-cutting concern that works across all AI tools, not just Tonone. Decoupling lets it evolve independently and be installed in Claude Code sessions that don't use Tonone at all.
Onboarding updated
/tonone-onboard no longer advertises bundled elephant memory. Description, expert-path command list, mental-model section, and newcomer-path next-steps updated to reflect Tonone's current scope: agents, skills, and worktree sessions.
