AI memory - Coding After Dark

Teaching your coding AI to remember: two kinds of memory, a short note you write (build and test commands, always and never rules, fixes you have said twice) and notes the AI saves about you.

Teaching your coding AI to remember, and why a shorter note works better

Your AI coding assistant forgets everything between sessions unless you give it a memory. We look at how memory works in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and Copilot, why a shorter note usually beats a longer one, and a seven-line file you can copy tonight.

Stop repeating yourself to Claude: one Claude Project holds your instructions, your files and its own memory, and every new chat starts with them, while what you said in each chat stays in that chat.
