auto-memory

# Auto Memory Management Use persistent auto memory to retain project knowledge across Claude Code sessions. The memory directory (`~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/`) stores a concise index file (`MEMORY.md`) and detailed topic files, creating a structured knowledge base that grows with the project. ## Core Architecture ```text ~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/memory/ ├── MEMORY.md # Always loaded into system prompt (~200 lines max) ├── architecture.md # Topic file: system architecture decisions ├── patterns.md # Topic file: code patterns and conventions ├── debugging.md # Topic file: debugging insights ├── workflows.md # Topic file: development workflows └── known-issues.md # Topic file: bug tracking ``` ### Two-Tier Design 1. **MEMORY.md** (always in context): Concise index with key facts, quick reference tables, and links to topic files. Lines after 200 are truncated — keep it tight. 2. **Topic files** (consulted as needed): Detailed reference organized by domain. No size limit, but keep each file focused on one topic. ## What to Save ### Save These - **Stable patterns** confirmed across multiple interactions (naming conventions, file organization, coding style) - **Architectural decisions** and their rationale - **Important file paths** and project structure - **User preferences** for workflow, tools, and communication style - **Solutions to recurring problems** and debugging insights - **Critical gotchas** that cause repeated m...
