Memory Initialization

Pre-flight Checks

1. Confirm working directory is a project root (has package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, go.mod, or similar)
2. Check if .claude/memory/ already exists
   • If yes: Ask user if they want to reset or just review current memory
   • If no: Proceed with initialization

Initialization Steps

Step 1: Create Directory Structure

mkdir -p .claude/memory/decisions
mkdir -p .claude/memory/sessions

Step 2: Gather Project Context

Ask user (or infer from codebase):

• What is this project? (1-2 sentences)
• What's the primary tech stack?
• Any key architectural decisions already made?
• What are you working on right now?

Step 3: Create Initial Files

product-context.md - Populate with gathered info:
