Memory Kit

Name: memory-kit
Author: jeremylongshore

Current State

![ -f MEMORY.md ] && echo "MEMORY.md: $(wc -l < MEMORY.md) lines, last modified $(date -r MEMORY.md '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')" || echo "No MEMORY.md found" ![ -f tasks/current-task.md ] && echo "Active task file found" || echo "No task file"

Overview

Claude Code sessions lose context on compaction and restart. Memory Kit persists session state (goals, decisions, patterns, open questions) to a MEMORY.md file that survives across sessions.

Five commands cover the full lifecycle:

/memory-save — snapshot before compaction
/memory-load — restore at session start
/memory-update — log a decision mid-session
/memory-share — push to git for teammates
/memory-audit — prune stale entries

Prerequisites

A git repository (for /memory-share)
Write access to the project root (MEMORY.md lives there)

Instructions

On session start — check for existing MEMORY.md in project root. If found, read and summarize the saved state. Ask the user whether to resume previous context or start fresh.
On save (/memory-save) — scan the current conversation for goals, decisions, patterns, and open questions. Write a structured snapshot to MEMORY.md with timestamped sections.
On update (/memory-update) — append the user's decision or note to the appropriate section in MEMORY.md without overwriting existing content.
On share (/memory-share) — commit MEMORY.md and push to the remote branch so teammates can load the same context.
On audit (/memory-audit) — review all entries in MEMORY.md, flag stale items (older than 7 days or referencing completed work), and prompt the user to confirm removal.

Output

The skill produces and maintains a MEMORY.md file containing:

Session metadata: Timestamp, branch, and project name
Goals: Current objectives carried across sessions
Decisions: Key choices made with rationale
Patterns: Recurring approaches or conventions discovered
Open questions: Unresolved items requiring future attention

Output Format

For the MEMORY.md template structure, see output-format.md.

Error Handling

For error scenarios and recovery behavior, see error-handling.md.

Examples

Save before compaction:

"Save my memory" → reads current context, writes snapshot to MEMORY.md

Load at session start:

"Load memory" → reads MEMORY.md, summarizes state, asks to resume or start new

Quick mid-session log:

"Log decision: using Postgres over SQLite for concurrent writes" → appends to Decisions section

Team sync:

"Share memory" → runs scripts/memory-share.sh, confirms push
