CommunityPreserve session context with breadcrumbs.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Claude sessions are stateless. Breadcrumbs provide persistent notes that capture what was tried, what worked, and what failed, enabling session-to-session memory without manual updates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Write breadcrumbs during or after a session to record decisions, results, and caveats.
- Read breadcrumbs at session start to surface history and prior reasoning.
- Use breadcrumbs for debugging, onboarding, and collaborative work by maintaining continuity across sessions.
Quick Start
Create the .claude/ directory if it doesn't exist and add to .gitignore if you prefer. Then place a breadcrumbs file at .claude/breadcrumbs.md (project-specific location allowed) and begin appending entries after significant work using the template shown in the instruction. At session start, Claude reads the file and summarizes the history to guide the current work.
