What this skill does
Memory Management Skill Purpose Guide Claude Code to intentionally capture, store, and use context, decisions, and preferences across sessions, enabling true "memory" that survives context resets and improves over time. When to Use This Skill Automatically activates when you mention: Remembering user preferences or choices Tracking decisions made during development Capturing important context Learning from user corrections Persisting project-specific knowledge Memory that survives session resets The Problem: Context Loss Without intentional memory: ❌ Same mistakes repeated across sessions ❌ User has to re-explain preferences every time ❌ Important decisions forgotten after context reset ❌ No learning from corrections ❌ Starting from scratch each session With intentional memory: ✅ Preferences remembered and auto-applied ✅ Decisions documented and retrievable ✅ Context persists across sessions ✅ Learn and adapt from corrections ✅ Continuous improvement over time --- Core Principles 1. Be Selective Track signal, not noise: ✅ User explicitly states preference ("always use X") ✅ User corrects same pattern 2+ times ✅ Important architectural decisions ✅ Project-specific conventions ❌ One-time experiments ❌ Formatting preferences (use linter config) ❌ Temporary changes ❌ Information already in codebase 2. Be Transparent User should always know what's stored: Store in visible location (.claude/memory/) Use human-readable format (JSON with comments) Provide commands to view memory (/show-memory) Log when memory is created/updated Allow user to clear memory anytime 3. Be Intentional Only capture what adds value: Preferences that save time Decisions that provide context Patterns that prevent mistakes Knowledge that's hard to rediscover 4. …
