Claude Code has four memory layers: managed, user, project, and local

Claude Code loads four memory scopes in order: managed policy, user, project, and local.
- Managed policy is deployed by IT at the org level.
- User memory lives in /.claude/CLAUDE.md.
- Project memory is ./CLAUDE.md committed for the team.
- Local memory is ./CLAUDE.local.md, a gitignored personal note layer.
The post frames these layers as stacking together so teams can separate shared rules from personal preferences.
