SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns the brain database into a safe, compact CLAUDE.local.md context file, so you can keep project memory current without overwriting hand-written guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Preserves manual content above and below the auto-generated block while refreshing only the managed context section.
Summarizes key people, systems, decisions, and project status into a token-budgeted export for fast reuse in new sessions.
Supports first-run workflows by detecting missing brain databases and offering feedback-memory migration into behavior rules.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to export the current project slug into CLAUDE.local.md using brain-export.

FAQPage Schema

How do I export SQLite project context to a CLAUDE.local.md file safely?▼

To export SQLite project context safely, brain:export generates a compact CLAUDE.local.md section from the brain database using sentinel-aware file rewriting and atomic output updates. It preserves manual content above and below the auto-generated block while refreshing only the managed context section.

Does exporting project memory to CLAUDE.local.md overwrite my hand-written guidance rules?▼

Exporting project memory does not overwrite hand-written guidance. The export applies sentinel-aware file rewriting to preserve manual content above and below the auto-generated block, refreshing only the managed context section within CLAUDE.local.md.

What happens when the brain SQLite database is missing during a context refresh?▼

When the brain SQLite database is missing, the context refresh detects the absent database and supports first-run workflows by offering feedback-memory migration into behavior rules within your project guidance.

How is token budgeting applied when summarizing project status for a new session?▼

Token-budgeted summarization compiles key people, systems, decisions, and project status from the brain database into a compact context export. This ensures the generated CLAUDE.local.md output remains within token limits for fast reuse in new sessions.

Can I migrate feedback notes into project behavior rules on the first run?▼

You can migrate feedback notes into project behavior rules on the first run. The skill detects a missing brain database and offers a first-run workflow to convert stored feedback-memory notes into actionable behavior rules for project guidance.
