Not all bad behavior meets the threshold of police intervention.
Here's a nearly-strawman-but-definitionally-valid example: a landlord may want to remove a tenant who's being unusually hard on the place and accelerating the wear-and-tear. Could be serious enough that paying the tenant to go away would be cheaper than the cost to remediate the damage accrued over the length of the contract.
Wouldn't the real story be to get government contracts? Those are more immune to public fickleness and market competition and usually have truly ludicrous margins.

> someone needs to work with the business to extract the information. Typically it's not well documented.
LLM extraction of the information from the Product Owner is becoming the way to overcome poorly-documented business context.
Non-technical folk are using things like `/grill-me` [0] to seed the LLM with the long-tail complexities that they didn't know they didn't know they needed to put out.
> Does Claude leverage the trailers automatically, or is usage initiated by you?
Trailers hint is in my global CLAUDE.md so it knows: when debugging, saying something like "didn't we already discuss this in a previous session?" it will know what to look for.
I also have a manually invoked `/search-session-transcripts` that I can use to natural-language inspect previous session by day, project, session id etc. Claude often uses this skill to narrow down on parts of the conversation that are relevant to the current query.
> How often are you using the trailer lookups?
Mondays are usually the day I need to refer to previous sessions from the week before. Trailer lookups are also good for continuing buildout of adjacent features. They've also been excellent in incident post-mortems where the PR text and commit message aren't enough to gauge the "how" of decisions that led to issues.
> Any idea how this relates to token usage?
I tested this. Session-transcripts are append-only so `/clear` and `/compact` don't clear out old messages, they stay stable and accessible. I also don't clean out my `~/.claude/sessions` ever so there's a lot in there, but the info is valuable and cheap.
I've been attaching to my commit messages a Git Trailer [1] of the Session UUID from the Claude Code conversation that created that commit.
It allows Claude to look back into the session where a change was made and see the decisions made, tradeoffs discussed and other history not captured by code, tests.
