claude-code-memory

Overview

Use this skill when the task involves memory design or memory hygiene for Claude Code or a similar coding agent.

This skill organizes memory into three layers:

1. Instruction memory
2. Session memory
3. Durable memory

The intent is to keep each layer narrow, useful, and easy to trust.

Before you start

• Identify the host tool's instruction file. For Claude Code this is usually CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md. Other common examples are AGENTS.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md.
• Identify or create a repo-local durable memory directory. The default layout in this skill uses .agent-memory/.
• Identify or create the session summary file at .agent-memory/session/summary.md.
