distill-memory helps capture the most valuable cross-module lessons from prior Claude Code decisions so future sessions can be more context-aware without becoming noisy or redundant.

Distill cross-module architectural decisions by scanning `.claude/decisions/**/*.md` files and MODULE-tagged commit Decision blocks to propose 0–3 human-approved memory entries. This prevents noisy duplication by enforcing strict filters before writing.
Deduplicate Claude Code memory entries by checking candidates against existing memory slugs and topics. The distillation process uses a three-signal heuristic to prioritize recurring patterns and binding constraints while filtering out derivable or ephemeral context.
Memory distillation applies hard filters to avoid saving what is derivable from current project state, git history, debugging recipes, `CLAUDE.md` content, or ephemeral task context. Only recurring patterns, repeated pitfalls, and binding architectural constraints are selected.
No, writing Claude Code memory entries requires explicit user approval. The workflow follows a pull-don’t-push approach, presenting 0–3 candidates per run so you can gate exactly what becomes a permanent memory entry.
You need cross-module memory distillation when your multi-module project has Layer 2 snapshots and requires elevating cross-module patterns, recurring mistakes, or binding architectural constraints into context-aware memory for future sessions.
Extraction is limited to `.claude/decisions/**/*.md` and an optional recent commit window. It cannot process contexts outside these sources and strictly filters out debugging recipes, existing `CLAUDE.md` content, and derivable project state.
