This is not for Claude Code?

I doubt it. It's more for conversational ability to enhance the illusion that Claude knows you. I doubt you'd want old code to bleed into new code on Claude code.

i wouldn't want old code to bleed into new code but i'd love some memory between convos

Claude code has had this for a while (seems old news anyway). In my limited world it really works well, Claude Code has made almost no mistakes for weeks now. It seems to 'get' our structure; we have our own framework which would be very badly received here because it's very opinionated; I am quite against freedom of tools because most people cannot actually really evaluate what is good and what is not for the problem at hand, so we have exactly the tools and api's that always work the best in all cases we encounter and claude seems to work very well like that.

I've been using it for the past month and I really like it compared to ChatGPT memory. Claude memory weaves it's memories of you into chats in a natural way, while ChatGPT feels like a salesman trying to make a sale e.g. "Hi Bob! How's your wife doing? I'd like to talk to you about an investment opportunity..." while Claude is more like "Barcelona is a great travel destination and I think you and wife would really enjoy it"

That’s creepy, I will promptly turn that off. Also, Claude doesn’t “think” anything, I wish they’d stop with the anthropomorphizations. They are just as bad as hallucinations.

Are you sure? As far as I am aware CC does not have a memory system built-in, other than .md files.

I’ve used memory in Claude desktop for a while after MCP was supported. At first I liked it and was excited to see the new memories being created. Over time it suggests storing strange things to memories (an immaterial part of a prompt) and if I didn’t watch it like a hawk, it just gets really noisy and messy and made prompts less successful to accomplish my tasks so I ended up just disabling it.

It’s also worth mentioning that some folks attributed ChatGPT’s bout of extreme sycophancy to its memory feature. Not saying it isn’t useful, but it’s not a magical solution and will definitely affect Claude’s performance and not guaranteed that it’ll be for the better.

To each his or her own. I really enjoy it for more natural feeling conversations.
