'git diff' My Brain: Working Memory for Claude Code
Details
I keep my whole working memory in a folder of markdown files: everyone I work with, every project, every decision I don't want to re-litigate twice. Claude Code writes to it on a schedule, and every morning I review what it wrote as a `git diff`.
Three months in, I want to show you the actual folder. What's in it, the two routines that maintain it, and the handful of ways it quietly corrupted itself before I worked out the rules. My favorite: it merged two people into one person, and the diff looked completely normal.
Mostly live in a terminal, no slides if I can help it, and I'll leave plenty of time for your questions. You don't need to write code for this to be useful. It's a folder with a `.claude/` in it. That's the whole trick.
Plus: Jev, with live demos
Heidi Porter of Moyer Group AI joins us for a short talk on Jev, with demos. I use Jev in my own memory setup, so I'm looking forward to seeing it from Heidi's side.
