Who it is forA developer who keeps re-teaching Claude the same project conventions across new conversations.
The problemA new conversation forgets instructions you already gave, so you repeat them every session.
The outcomePreferences, corrections and facts are kept in one Markdown notes file per project, and an instruction repeated three times becomes a line in your repo.
What you need first
- Claude Code 2.1.287 or later (the README says it is tested up to 2.1.302)
- A Claude subscription sign-in, or an API key, Bedrock or Vertex setup with the cache refresh turned off
- Access to the Claude Code plugin commands in a terminal
Steps
- Run
claude plugin install ctx-handoff@ctx-handoff-modif it is not installed yet - Give Claude a preference or correction in normal conversation, as you would anyway
- Open
/handoff panelto view memories, rules and the latest notes update - Delete any memory you do not want; note that it returns only if you bring it up again in a new part of the conversation
- Check the Markdown notes file in
~/.claude/projects/for your project
Prompt for your agent
Using Claude Code with ctx-handoff-mod, record a repeated instruction for <project path> and then inspect the notes file under ~/.claude/projects/ for that project. Expected output: a Markdown notes file containing the instruction. Verify that the entry appears in the file and in the panel.
Caveat. Notes are updated from the new part of the conversation by a model the README names, so review the panel output before relying on the notes.
