update-context

You can maintain CLAUDE.md context by capturing root causes from corrections and translating them into concrete, reusable rules. This post-correction reflex ensures your persistent context stays aligned with codebase changes and prevents stale guidance over time.

Maintain a knowledge base from coding sessions by performing targeted updates after major refactors while preserving context history. This approach applies focused edits to capture session learnings and enforces meta-guidelines for tracking knowledge evolution over time.

Run context updates after significant codebase changes to refresh the knowledge context. This ensures your persistent documentation stays current, actionable, and aligned with recent repository modifications rather than retaining outdated assumptions.

Yes, managing context with CLAUDE.md supports ad-hoc requests by applying targeted updates. This allows you to perform focused edits on the knowledge base after major refactors or specific corrections while preserving the existing context history.

Your CLAUDE.md knowledge base contains stale guidance when it is not regularly updated after codebase changes. Without periodic health checks and post-correction reflexes to capture root causes, the persistent context retains outdated assumptions instead of actionable rules.

Prevent stale assumptions in your project context rules by enforcing context evolution meta-guidelines and running periodic health checks. These practices ensure your knowledge base captures fresh learnings and translates root causes into accurate, reusable rules over time.
