 "title": "Give Claude Code searchable memory of your past sessions",
 "page_title": "How to give Claude Code searchable memory of your past sessions with MemPalace",
 "summary": "Install the MemPalace CLI, mine your Claude Code transcripts and project files into a local palace, then search them and load context into a new session.",
 "who": "A developer who keeps re-explaining past decisions to Claude Code because each session starts from zero.",
 "problem": "Old Claude Code sessions are hard to search, and the README warns they expire in 30 days without auto-save hooks wired.",
 "outcome": "A local palace of verbatim sessions and project files you can search in plain language, plus a wake-up command that loads context for a new session.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `uv tool install mempalace` to put the MemPalace CLI in an isolated environment on your PATH (or `pipx install mempalace`)",
  "Run `mempalace init ~/projects/myapp` with the path to your own project",
  "Run `mempalace mine ~/projects/myapp` to mine the project files into the palace",
  "Run `mempalace mine ~/.claude/projects/ --mode convos` to mine your Claude Code sessions (scope with --wing per project)",
  "Run `mempalace search \"why did we switch to GraphQL\"` with your own question to find the original conversation",
  "Run `mempalace wake-up` to load context for a new session",
  "Run `mempalace audit` to score how well organized the palace is (read-only)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install MemPalace/mempalace with `uv tool install mempalace`, run `mempalace init` on this project, then mine my Claude Code sessions with `mempalace mine ~/.claude/projects/ --mode convos`. Before answering any question about past decisions in this repo, run `mempalace search` with the question and quote the matching original text. Do not delete or move any transcript files.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "20 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The palace holds your full transcripts verbatim, so keep it on a disk you trust. The README points to its Claude Code retention setup checklist for wiring the auto-save hooks and backing up existing JSONL transcripts.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.10 or newer",
  "uv or pipx recommended for the CLI (plain pip only inside a virtualenv)",
  "A vector-store backend (ChromaDB by default, no configuration)",
  "About 300 MB of disk for the embedding model",
  "Docker only if you use the container image"
