# Auto Memory: Claude Code Remembers What You Teach It

## What this project is

A companion repo for the From AI to Chitta article on **Auto Memory**
(concept ID: `CC-013`). It contains exercises that let you build and
verify a working cross-session memory system in Claude Code.

## How to use this

1. Open Claude Code in this directory: `cd claude-code-auto-memory && claude`
2. Work through exercises in order: `exercises/01-trigger-memory.md`, then 02, then 03
3. Each exercise has concrete steps with expected output
4. Compare your results to the expected output described in each exercise

## Code quality expectations

- This is a learning repo. Clarity over cleverness.
- Every exercise must run without modification on a clean clone
- No external dependencies
- If something does not work as expected, that is useful information: note it
