Project Memory Skill

Set up and organize Claude Code's project memory system for consistent, context-aware assistance.

Core Principle

Project memory teaches Claude Code how to work with your specific codebase. Well-organized project memory leads to more accurate, consistent, and helpful responses.

Memory Hierarchy

Claude Code reads instructions in this order (higher = more precedence):

1. Enterprise policy (managed, highest)
2. User memory (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)
3. Project memory (CLAUDE.md in project root)
4. Modular rules (.claude/rules/*.md)
5. Local memory (CLAUDE.local.md, gitignored)

Later sources override earlier ones for conflicting instructions.
