How to give Claude Code a better -memory- of your project
AI Summary
The video demonstrates an improved method for managing and summarizing coding sessions using Claude Code. It highlights the limitations of the built-in /compact slash command, which provides inadequate summaries that lead to forgetting details in new sessions. The creator introduces a custom session management system featuring commands to start, update, list, and end coding sessions, with session data saved as detailed logs. The example project demonstrates upgrading a Next.js 14 app to the latest Next.js 15 version. Claude deploys sub-agents to research the current version, migration steps, and compatibility analysis automatically. After the upgrade, it lists testing tasks and clearly documents all changes, file modifications, and encountered issues with solutions. This system provides a comprehensive memory feature for coding workflow continuity and progress tracking over time. The video encourages adopting this system for better session summaries and future improvements like feature categorization.
