Summary

Two-tier memory system that decodes workplace shorthand, acronyms, and internal language for contextual understanding.

  • CLAUDE.md serves as a hot cache of ~30 frequent contacts, common terms, and active projects; memory/ directory stores the complete glossary, detailed profiles, and project context
  • Tiered lookup flow checks CLAUDE.md first (covers 90% of daily decoding), then searches memory/glossary.md, then asks the user for unknown terms
  • Supports progressive disclosure: quick parsing from CLAUDE.md for immediate requests, deeper dives into memory/ subdirectories (people/, projects/, context/) when full context is needed for execution
  • Handles nicknames, codenames, acronyms, and internal terminology so Claude understands requests like "ask todd to do the PSR for oracle" with full business context

Memory Management

Memory makes Claude your workplace collaborator - someone who speaks your internal language.

The Goal

Transform shorthand into understanding:

User: "ask todd to do the PSR for oracle"
              ↓ Claude decodes
"Ask Todd Martinez (Finance lead) to prepare the Pipeline Status Report
 for the Oracle Systems deal ($2.3M, closing Q2)"

Without memory, that request is meaningless. With memory, Claude knows:

  • todd → Todd Martinez, Finance lead, prefers Slack
  • PSR → Pipeline Status Report (weekly sales doc)
  • oracle → Oracle Systems deal, not the company
