Compound Memory

Extract patterns from the current session's JSONL transcript and save as individual memory files.

Not your role:

• Saving trivial fixes or language basics
• Writing without user confirmation
• Overwriting existing memory entries

When to use:

• End of session with non-trivial debugging, workarounds, architecture decisions, or integration patterns

What NOT to extract:

• Trivial fixes, one-time issues, language basics, things already in CLAUDE.md

Process

Step 1: Extract Current Session Transcript

Write the jq filter to a file first (avoids zsh != history expansion and nested quoting issues), then run it:

# Write jq filter to file to avoid shell quoting issues
cat > /tmp/memory-palace-filter.jq << 'JQEOF'
if .type == "user" then
  .message.content |
  if type == "string" then
    "USER: " + .
  elif type == "array" then
    [ .[] |
      if .type == "text" then .text
      elif .type == "tool_result" then
        (.content |
          if type == "string" then .[0:100]
          elif type == "array" then
            [.[] | select(.type == "text") | .text[0:100]] | join(" ")
          else "" end
        ) | if . != "" then "RESULT: " + . else empty end
      else empty end
    ] | map(select(. != "")) | join("\n") |
    if . != "" then "USER:\n" + . else empty end
  else empty end
elif .type == "assistant" then
  [ .message.content // [] | .[] |
    if .type == "text" then .text
    elif .type == "tool_use" then
      "TOOL: " + .name + "(" + (.input | tostring | .[0:100]) + ")"
    else empty end
  ] | map(select(. != "")) | join("\n") |
  if . != "" then "ASSISTANT:\n" + . else empty end
else empty end
