This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Important: This is NOT a software development project. This is a prompt engineering and file management project for the Claude Code Memory Bank system.

This repository serves two primary purposes:

1. Prompt Engineering: Development and refinement of the Memory Bank system methodology for Claude Code
2. File Management: Storage and version control of the core files that constitute the Claude Code Memory Bank

Claude Code Memory Bank is an experimental adaptation of Cline Memory Bank, designed specifically for Claude Code. It provides:

• A hierarchical documentation structure (Memory Bank) for use in other projects
• Custom slash commands for workflow management
• Best practices for context preservation across sessions

Note: This project itself does not use the Memory Bank system (as that would be excessive for a methodology project). Instead, it contains the reference implementation and documentation that other projects can adopt.
