What problem does it solve?

Effectively managing Claude Code's memory system, including various file types, locations, and import syntax, can be complex. This skill provides a complete reference to the memory hierarchy, enabling you to organize knowledge efficiently and ensure Claude Code always has the right context.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Memory Locations: Understand the priority and purpose of Enterprise, Project, User, and Local memory files, ensuring optimal context loading.
• Modular Rules & Path-Specific Scoping: Learn to organize rules in .claude/rules/ and use YAML frontmatter with glob patterns to apply rules to specific file types or directories.
• Import Syntax & Best Practices: Master @path/to/file imports for linking documentation and follow guidelines for content, organization, and choosing the right memory type.

Quick Start

To add a project-specific rule for TypeScript files, ask the skill to "Show me how to create a rule in .claude/rules/ that applies only to src/api/**/*.ts files and enforces input validation."
