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.

Skills/Agents Sync

All Claude Code skills, agents, and hooks live in the dotfiles repo (~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_claude/), synced via chezmoi.

• Add new skill/agent: Create in ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.claude/agents/, then chezmoi add ~/.claude/skills/<name> and commit
• OpenClaw: Init container clones dotfiles repo and runs executable_openclaw-install.sh on pod start — no manual sync needed
• After modifying skills/hooks: chezmoi re-add ~/.claude/skills && cd $(chezmoi source-path) && git add -A && git commit -m "update skills" && git push
