David asks: How do profiles get updated without users having to remember to ask?

Granular profiles are written through an MCP connector: an AI (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) proposes entries and the user approves them. David identified a fundamental adoption problem:

how do we get granular profiles to update often without the user having to constantly remember to ask codex/claude code hey please go update granular based on this chat (which people will forget to do as they work across many claude code/codex sessions simultaneously)? the reason github profiles work is because users dont have to remember to do them, it happens automatically

The discussion evolved into whether hooks in Claude Code and Codex could be used to prompt the user at the end of each session. David pressed for precision:

what is a hook? explain it from first principles, whether its claude code desktop/cli supported, whether its codex desktop/cli supported, how it works, how it works when a user is using claude code/codex in desktop/cli, how it works when they arent etc.

When the agent described vague heuristics for determining whether to ask the user ("only administrative chatter"), David pushed back on the ambiguity:

how are you determining this? i dont want vagueness here

The session culminated in commissioning a Granular Connect installer — a desktop app for Mac and Windows that would wire up the MCP connector and hooks automatically, so non-technical users didn't have to do any configuration.
