MEMORY vs CLAUDE Files (What's the Difference?!)

By Samuel Gregory

About this video

Tired of explaining your project to Claude every single session? In this video I break down Claude Code memory - both the auto memory Claude writes for itself and the CLAUDE.md files you can create. KEY TAKEAWAYS - Two memory types: Auto memory (Claude writes) + CLAUDE.md (you write) - CLAUDE.md hierarchy: Managed - Project - User - Project local - Auto - Use /memory to manage auto memory or toggle it on/off - 200 line limit on auto memory MEMORY.md - keep it concise
