How to give Claude Code a better "memory" of your project

AI Pair Programming80%
When Claude Code runs out of context, what do you do? You can use the /compact command to summarize the existing chat but it's actually not very good at capturing the details and you might find Claude seems a bit "dumber" after.
In this video I show you a set of custom slash commands I built that will help you to log all of the changes you make with Claude Code into a simple memory system that is so much better than using /compact.
To use these yourself, copy the commands and sessions folders from the Github link below into the .claude folder in your project:
