SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

split-memory helps you manage a growing CLAUDE.md by turning one massive, hard-to-navigate instruction file into a set of focused modules with clear precedence, reducing contradictions and improving maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • When to split: Provides a decision guide for splitting once CLAUDE.md exceeds about 300 lines or when multiple teams require different instructions.
  • Index-first organization: Recommends keeping root CLAUDE.md as a concise index pointing to detailed instructions.
  • Conflict prevention with precedence: Defines explicit priority rules to ensure universal guidance overrides module or team guidance.
  • Single-axis splitting: Guides you to split by only one dimension (concern, module, or team) to avoid overlapping ownership and conflicting rules.

Quick Start

Use the split-memory skill when your CLAUDE.md has grown beyond 300 lines or your project needs modular, team- or module-specific instructions with a clear precedence order.

Frequently Asked Questions about split-memory

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
When should I modularize my CLAUDE.md instruction file?▼

Splitting your CLAUDE.md is recommended when it exceeds about 300 lines or when multiple teams need different conventions. This reduces contradictions and improves maintainability.

How do I prevent conflicts when splitting instructions into modular files?▼

You prevent conflicts by enforcing deterministic precedence rules with a root > concern/module > team priority. This ensures universal guidance overrides module or team instructions.

What is the best way to organize a large Claude instruction set?▼

The best way is making the root CLAUDE.md a concise universal index pointing to detailed modular instructions. Select a single splitting axis like concern, module, or team.

Can I split project conventions by both module and team at the same time?▼

No, you should select a single splitting axis like concern, module, or team. Splitting by multiple dimensions simultaneously causes overlapping ownership and conflicting rule definitions.

Why does my team-specific CLAUDE.md override the project's universal instructions?▼

This happens if deterministic precedence rules are not enforced. Universal root instructions must override concern/module and team guidance to prevent duplicate rule definitions and conflicts.
