Love to see people creating such projects, i'm truly passionate about Coding Agent Memory myself.

Have you thought on making it collaborative memory across your teammates working on the repo? how does your framework handle stale memory, when someone changes the code that breaks the memory store?

Edit: oh no, so sorry, I am using another project named recall. But not this one. https://github.com/arjunkmrm/recall

Happy user of recall here. I rarely need it as I try to keep conversations small and files-focused. But when I do need it, it brings a lot of value. Sometimes there are conversations where I failed to capture some interesting things. Recall is also very helpful to me to audit my system like when I start to suspect some inefficiencies around some tools (skills, mcps, clis). Recall was efficient to retrieve "tranversal context" required for such audit.

I might be missing out on something but I never had to explain my project. Just give it a task, or if you really want to, type it quickly, then you are good to go. I can’t imagine this being worth optimizing. The issue is never that Claude can’t figure out what the projects is about… Am I missing something or does this project not solve a problem most regular people have?

What I've finally come to understand is that there is a large amount of people who are now able to write and use software through claude and coding agents. Those people have different needs than more traditional software engineers who have more knowledge because even best llms often need steering, correction, and refactoring suggestions when iterating on code and it's fine to let it lose context because exactly like…

There are bunch of tools to manage context or fix what Claude does wrong. They may be popular because non software engineers want to improve their workflows, like you mentioned.

But are they really working instead of making it worse? Are there any tests or real case studies done by users not tool's author? From my experience, removing from context works more often then adding.

Thank you for the encouragement. Currently there is no way to handle stale memory and I didnt think about the teammates angle...good point I will need to think about it and see if I can build something around it.

I apparently use Claude differently the most people who talk about using Claude on the internet. I’ll typically have a bunch of short sessions over the course of a day. Anytime I start a task that isn’t going to very directly benefit from the existing context I start fresh. I don’t find a lot of benefit in explaining the project overall to Claude — I’ve deleted a lot of that explanation from my Claude.md because it d…

I work in a completely different manner. I have a chief of staff agent, which is one Claude code instance that orchestrates work across all my projects simultaneously with sub agents. In this way the agent helps me context switch and drive work towards everything I’m working on. I only use 1 session, I compact when necessary with todos and on file system files to track wip

Mind sharing details of your setup?

This means its changes will either be out of alignment with the overall project and its "style" and goals, or it waste tokens re-getting to know the basics about the project each time.

No third case.
