Claude Memory

Instructions

• When the user says "remember" something: Always save to the project knowledge file (.claude/CLAUDE.md in the current repo) by default. Only save to global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md if the user explicitly says "remember globally" or the info clearly applies across all projects.
• After updating any .claude/ files: Always commit them immediately (e.g., git add .claude/ && git commit -m "update claude knowledge") to avoid building up unstaged changes. Use [ci skip] in commit messages since these are not infrastructure changes.

Preferences

Chezmoi Sync

When making changes to dotfiles (including Claude files in ~/.claude/), sync with chezmoi only if it is installed (command -v chezmoi):

1. Sync with chezmoi:
   • chezmoi add <file> for new files
   • chezmoi re-add <file> for updated files
2. Commit the changes in the chezmoi source directory:
   • cd $(chezmoi source-path) && git add -A && git commit -m "<descriptive message>" If chezmoi is not installed, skip the sync steps and just make the changes directly.

Claude Plugins

When installing new Claude plugins or marketplaces, update these files:

• ~/.local/bin/sync-dotfiles-remote.sh - add new marketplace/plugin install commands
• ~/.local/share/chezmoi/run_once_after_install-claude-plugins.sh - add to chezmoi run_once script Then sync and commit both to chezmoi.

CC Config Sync

Claude Code config is synced across machines via ~/.claude/cc-config/ (git repo backed by NFS bare repo on TrueNAS at /mnt/main/openclaw/cc-config/cc-config.git).

• Push: ~/.claude/cc-config/sync.sh push — exports CLAUDE.md, skills, settings (templated), claude-memory data, project memory
• Pull: ~/.claude/cc-config/sync.sh pull — imports and renders templates with local paths
• OpenClaw: sync.sh apply-openclaw — copies shared config to OpenClaw NFS home (runs in init container on pod start)
• Automation: launchd runs push every 30 min (com.cc-config.sync plist)
• Settings and installed_plugins use {{HOME}}/{{CLAUDE_DIR}} placeholders for path portability
• After modifying skills, hooks, or CLAUDE.md, run sync.sh push to share changes
