How I Built a Memory System for Claude Code and Open-Sourced It

You open Claude Code. You work for an hour — refactoring, debugging, building something real. You close the terminal. Next morning you type claude and... it has no idea what happened yesterday. I've been there about a thousand times. Literally. After 1000+ sessions building content pipelines, multi-agent systems, and GEO optimization tools with Claude Code, I got fed up with the context amnesia. So I built a system that fixes it. And today I'm open-sourcing everything. Repo: awrshift/claude-starter-kit The Problem Nobody Talks About Claude Code is powerful. It reads your codebase, runs tests, writes code that actually works. But it has one brutal limitation — no persistent memory between sessions . Every time you start a new session, you're back to square one. The agent doesn't remember: What you worked on yesterday Which architectural decisions you made What patterns keep causing bugs Where you left off So you burn 10-15 minutes every session just re-loading context. Multiply that by
