# Session Memory

> Bridges Code tab sessions with the Memory MCP server. Use at session start to load relevant project memories, and at session end to store new discoveries. Activates when working on any project to maintain continuity across sessions.

# Session Memory Bridge

## Purpose
The Memory MCP server persists facts across Claude Desktop conversations.
This skill helps Claude Code sessions (Code tab) leverage that same memory.

## At Session Start
1. Check if the memory MCP server has entries for this project:
   ```bash
   echo "Project: $(basename $(pwd))"
   ```
2. Look for `learnings.md` in the project root
3. Look for `.claude/session-handoff.md` from previous sessions
4. Apply all relevant context before starting work

## During Work — What to Remember
Store these types of facts (for the Memory MCP in Desktop chat later):
- **Architecture decisions**: "Project X uses JWT auth with refresh tokens in httpOnly cookies"
- **Conventions discovered**: "In project X, all API calls go through services/ layer"
- **Gotchas found**: "In project X, the test DB must be seeded before running integration tests"
- **Dependencies**: "Project X requires Node 20+ and MongoDB 7+"
- **Current state**: "Project X has auth module complete, payment module in progress"

## At Session End
1. Generate a summary of what was done
2. Update `learnings.md` with new discoveries
3. If ending a long session, create `.claude/session-handoff.md`
4. Suggest facts to store in Memory MCP (user can do this in Desktop chat)

## Session Handoff Format
```markdown
## Session Handoff — [date]
### Done: [list of completed work]
### Decisions: [architecture/design choices made]
### State: [what's working, what's in progress]
### Issues: [bugs found, blockers, tech debt]
### Next: [prioritized next steps]
### Files: [key files modified]
### Memory Suggestions: [facts to tell Memory MCP in Desktop chat]
