I use Claude in VS Code and the biggest pain was running out of context mid-chat.
Every new chat meant re-explaining everything. I had a project-documentation.md but it ate up 70% of the context alone. So I asked Claude to update that doc.
It did something better. It created a MEMORY.md inside .claude directory. Concise wording, full context. Just what mattered.
Best part? Claude picks it up automatically. No need to reference it.
Now I ask Claude to update MEMORY.md, start a new chat and say keep working on this. It picks up right where it left off.
This is a documented feature called Auto Memory. Still rolling out gradually.
If not working for you, opt in with: CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=0
