Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

If a(n) is not squarefree, then a(n+1) = a(n) + a(n-1), else a(n+1) is the smallest positive integer not occurring earlier.

%C A variant of the sequence A267758 where the relation has to hold for prime numbers rather than for squarefree numbers. In contrast to that sequence we have many "lines" here (when the property occurs for consecutive terms), roughly proportional to n, 2n, 3n, ... Here we also have duplicate terms (which we could exclude explicitly), for n <= 1000 this happens 19 times.
