Lurk – local agent that gives AI tools context about what you're doing

SMRTR summary

Lurk is a local desktop tool that continuously monitors activity across 30+ applications including VS Code, Chrome, Slack, and Figma to build contextual understanding of work projects, eliminating the need to re-explain context when starting AI conversations. The tool clusters related activities into "workstreams" and generates ready-to-paste prompts with full project context, keeping all data completely local without cloud storage or telemetry.
