 ## Trust Model
 
-This plugin runs with your full shell privileges. Before installing or upgrading, understand what you're trusting:
+This plugin runs with your full shell privileges, like any other Claude Code hook. The **default install** stores memory locally under `<project>/.remember/` (or `~/.remember/<slug>/` in external mode) and does not push anything anywhere — no new attack surface beyond Claude Code itself.
 
-- **`~/.remember/config.json`** — Any process that can write this file can redirect the git backup remote to an attacker-controlled URL, causing all memory to be silently exfiltrated on every session save.
-- **`hooks.d/` directory** — Any process that can write an executable file here gets arbitrary code execution on every session save and start. This includes the plugin cache directory (`~/.claude/plugins/cache/`), which is user-writable by design.
-- **The configured git backup remote** — Anyone who controls the remote repository receives a copy of everything you discuss with Claude Code: project paths, summaries, identity files, and anything else in memory.
-
-**Recommended mitigations:**
-
-- Keep `~/.remember/` and the plugin cache under tight permissions (`chmod 700 ~/.remember ~/.claude/plugins/cache`).
-- Point the git backup remote at a repository you own and review push targets when you change it.
-- The plugin now validates the remote URL on every push and aborts if it changes — see the `git_backup.allow_remote_change` config option to update it intentionally.
+The optional **git backup** feature does push memory to a remote you configure. If you enable it, read [`docs/git-backup-security.md`](docs/git-backup-security.md) for the full threat model — short version: treat `~/.remember/` with the same care you give `~/.ssh/`, point the backup at a repo you own, and the built-in remote-URL validation handles the rest.

+# Git Backup — Security Model
+
+This page only matters if you enable the **git backup** feature (`hooks.d/after_save/50-git-backup.sh`). The default install does not push your memory anywhere — no new attack surface beyond what Claude Code already needs to run on your machine.
+
+If you do enable git backup, read on.
+
+---
+
+## The "is this special?" question
+
+> *"Anyone who can write `~/.remember/config.json` can redirect the backup remote to their own URL and silently exfiltrate every session."*
+
+True. Also true for:
+
+- `~/.ssh/config` — redirect your `git push` to an attacker's host.
+- `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` — grant SSH access.
+- `~/.bashrc` / `~/.zshrc` — code execution on every shell.
+- `~/.claude/**` — change which hooks Claude Code runs.
+- `~/.gitconfig` — `[core] sshCommand = ...` runs arbitrary code on every git operation.
+
+If something can write to your home directory as your user, you are already compromised. The threat model "attacker with write-access to `$HOME`" is game over independent of this plugin. Treat `~/.remember/` with the same care you give `~/.ssh/` — that's the bar, and it's not a higher one.
+
+---
+
+## Threats specific to git backup
+
+These are the things that only apply once you enable the feature.
+
+### 1. The remote you push to receives a copy of everything you discuss with Claude Code
+
+That includes project paths, session summaries, identity files, any data the model wrote into memory, and any content you accidentally pasted into a session. If you point the remote at a service you don't fully trust, you're streaming your work history there continuously.
+
+**Mitigation:** point the remote at a private repository you own. GitHub private, self-hosted Gitea, a `git init --bare` on your own server — anything where you control access.
+
+### 2. The configured remote can drift if `config.json` is tampered with
+
+Without protection, an attacker writing `~/.remember/config.json` could swap the remote URL between sessions and the next save would silently push to their host.
+
+**Mitigation built into the plugin:** the backup hook validates the remote URL on every push and aborts if it has changed from the value originally set. To intentionally change the remote, set `git_backup.allow_remote_change` in config (one-shot opt-in). See [`README.md`](../README.md) for the option.
+
+### 3. `hooks.d/` is executed on every session save and start
+
+Same as Claude Code's own hook directory. Anything you (or an installed plugin) drops in `hooks.d/` runs with your user privileges. The plugin cache at `~/.claude/plugins/cache/` is user-writable by design — a malicious plugin can add hooks there.
+
+**Mitigation:** this is install-time trust. Only install plugins you've reviewed. Same rule as `npm install`, `pip install`, or any package manager pulling code that runs on your machine.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended setup
+
+If you want git backup with reasonable defaults:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Restrictive permissions (same as ~/.ssh)
+chmod 700 ~/.remember
+chmod 700 ~/.claude/plugins/cache
+
+# 2. Point backup at a private repo you own
+git init --bare ~/backups/claude-remember.git    # or use a private GitHub/Gitea/etc.
+# Then set git_backup.remote in ~/.remember/config.json
+
+# 3. Verify the validation guard is active (default: on)
+# git_backup.allow_remote_change is false unless you explicitly flip it
+```
+
+After this:
+
+- Data leaves your machine only to a repo you control.
+- The remote can't silently change without `allow_remote_change`.
+- The home-dir attack surface is no worse than `~/.ssh/`.
+
+---
+
+## What you're consenting to (in one sentence)
+
+**Enabling git backup means: every memory save is pushed to the remote you configured.** That's it. Everything above is about making sure "the remote you configured" stays the remote you configured.
