Give Your AI a Memory

The five context files worth writing so Claude starts every session already knowing you, where they actually live, and how to fix a memory that's gone stale or wrong.

What it covers

• The five files worth writing: About Me, Current Priorities, Decisions (settled, don't relitigate), Projects, People I Work With.
• Where they live: Claude Projects instructions and files, ChatGPT memory and custom instructions, or plain files for Claude Code.
• Capturing feedback once: when you correct the AI, turn it into a standing rule.
• Pruning: memory that's wrong is worse than no memory.

What you'll build

Write your About Me and Current Priorities files and load them into a Project.
