Daily Use Issues
It does not remember yesterday
Section titled “It does not remember yesterday”Claude Code holds context within a session and starts fresh in a new one. But your system’s memory lives in the files — CLAUDE.md, your context files, constraints.md, the diagnostic record.
When a new session starts, it reads CLAUDE.md and its imports, which restores your full context.
If something important happened in a previous session and never made it into a file, tell it: “Update [file] with [information].”
Its suggestions do not match my business
Section titled “Its suggestions do not match my business”Check your context files. If context/me.md, context/business.md, or context/market.md are incomplete or outdated, the system is working from incomplete information.
Update them, then say: “I’ve updated my context files. Read them and adjust your understanding.”
I want to track something there is no file for
Section titled “I want to track something there is no file for”Create it: “Create a new context file for [topic].”
It will create the file and register it in CLAUDE.md. The system is designed to grow with the business.
How does decision logging work?
Section titled “How does decision logging work?”Automatically. The system recognises when you have made a decision — choosing a direction, committing or declining to spend, shifting a priority, creating a process, setting a timeline — and writes it to decisions/log.md as it happens, not at the end of the session.
You do not need to remember to do it.
A decision was not logged
Section titled “A decision was not logged”Tell it: “Log this decision: [what you decided].”
If decisions get missed consistently: “You’re not catching my decisions. Watch for [the pattern you use].” It will adjust its triggers.
Can I review my decision history?
Section titled “Can I review my decision history?”Yes — “Show me my recent decisions” or “What decisions have I made about [topic]?”
Every entry is traced to the constraint it addresses, which is what makes the log worth keeping. Over time the pattern of off-constraint decisions becomes diagnostic data in its own right.
How do I ask it to build a skill?
Section titled “How do I ask it to build a skill?”If you are a 90MM member with the skill-builder, you do not — it detects capability gaps automatically when a request passes the RPC test.
On the free version: “I want to document the process for [thing I do repeatedly].” Walk it through how you do it. It creates a process file and can structure it as a skill.
