# Memory Keeper

## Purpose

Scan the current conversation context and update `.claude/memory.md` with anything important that was learned, fixed, discovered, or decided during this session. This file serves as institutional knowledge for anyone starting with Claude on this project.

## What to capture

- **Fixes and workarounds** — what broke and how it was fixed (e.g. CORS errors, service gate issues)
- **Gotchas** — non-obvious things that tripped us up (e.g. socket not connected at startup)
- **Strict instructions** — rules or patterns the user emphasized
- **Architecture decisions** — why something was done a certain way
- **Environment setup** — things needed to get the project running
- **Commands that matter** — non-obvious commands or flags

## What NOT to capture

- Obvious things derivable from `CLAUDE.md` or code
- Temporary debugging steps
- Personal info about the user
- Anything already documented elsewhere

## How to update

1. Read the current `.claude/memory.md` file
2. Review the conversation context for new learnings
3. Add new entries under the appropriate section
4. Keep entries short — one line per item, max two lines for complex ones
5. Use `##` headers to group by topic
6. Do not duplicate existing entries
7. Remove entries that are no longer true

## Format

```markdown
## Section Name

- **Short title** — Brief explanation of what was learned and why it matters
```

## Rules

- Keep the file under 100 lines total
- Be concise — this is a quick reference, not documentation
- Every entry should answer: "What would I wish I knew before starting?"
- Update in place — edit existing entries if they've changed, don't append duplicates
