System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It prevents duplicated, stale, or mis-scoped guidance by helping you decide whether a rule belongs in CLAUDE.md, a skill-specific SKILL.md, or Claude Code auto-memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stops instruction rot via de-duplication: checks whether the same rule already exists in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so it is not restated in MEMORY.
  • Correctly routes by scope: distinguishes global team instructions (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md) from per-skill instructions (skill SKILL.md) and per-user learnings (project auto-memory).
  • Enforces Claude Code memory discipline: ensures MEMORY.md remains an index and that loaded memory content stays within the documented startup-load constraints.
  • Aligns with deterministic gating: activates a session marker so the workflow can reliably validate routing decisions before memory writes proceed.

Quick Start

Use the ai-instruction-and-memory-files skill when you are updating CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or a ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory file and need to decide where the new rule should live.
