My AI Agent Writes Great Code and Forgets All of It by Tomorrow

Short summary

AI agents lose context between sessions, re-solving known problems and debugging failures repeatedly. A lightweight 4-file markdown memory system (bugs.md, decisions.md, key_facts.md, issues.md) with explicit read/write protocols in CLAUDE.md eliminates session amnesia without databases or embeddings. This pattern reduces onboarding overhead and converts hard-won lessons into persistent, reusable facts.

• •AI agents forget context between sessions, re-solving known problems
• •Implement a 4-file markdown memory system with protocols in CLAUDE.md
• •Eliminates debugging tax and cuts agent onboarding to near-zero
