Claude Code release notes:

  > Version 2.1.32:
     • Claude Opus 4.6 is now available!
     • Added research preview agent teams feature for multi-agent collaboration (token-intensive feature, requires setting
     CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1)
     • Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works
     • Added "Summarize from here" to the message selector, allowing partial conversation summarization.
     • Skills defined in .claude/skills/ within additional directories (--add-dir) are now loaded automatically.
     • Fixed @ file completion showing incorrect relative paths when running from a subdirectory
     • Updated --resume to re-use --agent value specified in previous conversation by default.
     • Fixed: Bash tool no longer throws "Bad substitution" errors when heredocs contain JavaScript template literals like ${index + 1}, which
     previously interrupted tool execution
     • Skill character budget now scales with context window (2% of context), so users with larger context windows can see more skill descriptions
     without truncation
     • Fixed Thai/Lao spacing vowels (สระ า, ำ) not rendering correctly in the input field
     • VSCode: Fixed slash commands incorrectly being executed when pressing Enter with preceding text in the input field
     • VSCode: Added spinner when loading past conversations list

> Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works

Neat: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory

I guess it's kind of like Google Antigravity's "Knowledge" artifacts?

[bityard]

If it works anything like the memories on Copilot (which have been around for quite a while), you need to be pretty explicit about it being a permanent preference for it to be stored as a memory. For example, "Don't use emoji in your response" would only be relevant for the current chat session, whereas this is more sticky: "I never want to see emojis from you, you sub-par excuse for a roided-out spreadsheet"

Is there a way to disable it? Sometimes I value agent not having knowledge that it needs to cut corners

Are we sure the docs page has been updated yet? Because that page doesn't say anything about automatic recording of memories.

I understand everyone's trying to solve this problem but I'm envisioning 1 year down the line when your memory is full of stuff that shouldn't be in there.

I looked into it a bit. It stores memories near where it stores JSONL session history. It's per-project (and specific to the machine) Claude pretty aggressively and frequently writes stuff in there. It uses MEMORY.md as sort of the index, and will write out other files with other topics (linking to them from the main MEMORY.md) file.

It gives you a convenient way to say "remember this bug for me, we should fix tomorrow". I'll be playing around with it more for sure.

I asked Claude to give me a TLDR (condensed from its system prompt):

----

Persistent directory at ~/.claude/projects/{project-path}/memory/, persists across conversations

MEMORY.md is always injected into the system prompt; truncated after 200 lines, so keep it concise

Separate topic files for detailed notes, linked from MEMORY.md What to record: problem constraints, strategies that worked/failed, lessons learned

Proactive: when I hit a common mistake, check memory first - if nothing there, write it down

Maintenance: update or remove memories that are wrong or outdated

Organization: by topic, not chronologically

Tools: use Write/Edit to update (so you always see the tool calls)

I thought it was already doing this?

I asked Claude UI to clear its memory a little while back and hoo boy CC got really stupid for a couple of days
