Why?

Claude Code sessions are ephemeral - every conversation starts from zero. Close the terminal and everything you discussed, decided, and solved is gone. The only way to get that context back is to re-explain it or hope Claude reads the right files.

context-memory fixes this.

• "How did we fix that auth bug last week?" - Instead of re-debugging, /recall authentication pulls up exactly what you did, what you decided, and why.
• Decisions have context - You chose JWT over sessions for a reason. Three months later, you can't remember why. Your past sessions can.
• Code patterns survive sessions - That elegant retry pattern you built? It's saved with the language, file path, and description of what it does. /recall retry pattern --detailed brings it back.
• Projects you haven't touched in months - /recall --project scopes to whatever you're working in. Instant refresher on where you left off.
• Cross-project learning - Solved a CORS issue in one project? When it hits another, /recall CORS finds it regardless of which project it came from.
• Sub-50ms search - It's SQLite with FTS5 and tuned PRAGMAs (WAL mode, 64MB cache, in-memory temp store). Searching thousands of sessions feels instant.
• Two words to save everything - /remember and Claude does the rest: summarizes, extracts topics, identifies key code, stores it all. Add a note if you want, or don't.
