What it is

Our note

Two memory mechanisms load at every session start: CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) instruction files at managed, user, project, and local scopes, and auto memory, where Claude writes its own learnings from your corrections into per-repository notes that are reloaded in later sessions.
