Doug :
This is very helpful. How do you avoid Claude forgetting everything? I have resorted to this prompt. Generate a full session handoff document I can paste into a new Claude chat to resume exactly where we left off. Structure it as follows:
System State — current values of every tracked signal (scores, flags, blockers, staleness). Be specific with numbers and timestamps, not summaries.
What Was Built — completed items only, each with a one-line proof of completion (log line, exit code, confirmed output, etc.). No items without proof.
What Was Discussed But Not Built — unfinished items with the exact reason each was deferred (missing precondition, time, risk, etc.).
Direct Plan of Action — ordered steps to resolve every open item, taking the most direct path. Each step must include: the exact commands to run, the expected output that confirms success, and what it unblocks. No placeholders — expand all paths and variables.
Permanent Rules — rules that must be enforced every session without exception.
Write this for someone who has no memory of the session. Every claim must be grounded in actual observed state, not inferred or assumed. If something is unknown or unverified, say so explicitly.
