Claude Code’s auto memory writes project notes to disk and loads only the first 200 lines

The post explains Claude Code’s auto-memory system:
- Auto memory is on by default.
- Claude writes notes to /.claude/projects/<project>/memory/ as it works, including build commands, bugs, and user corrections.
- Only the first 200 lines of MEMORY.md are loaded each session; the rest lives in topic files and is loaded on demand.
The point is that memory is incremental and session loading is limited, so structure matters.
