Open-source local wiki tool tackles Claude forgetting past sessions
lose all context when a session ends, forcing users to re-explain the codebase, past bug fixes, and prior decisions every time a new session starts. Writing into a file was tried as a fix, but the file quickly grew too long and messy to maintain.
To solve this, a ed Almanac was built: it extracts useful context, decisions, gotchas, and from conversations and saves them into a wiki, which Claude then searches automatically when needed. It is free, , and runs entirely locally, with the code available on GitHub under AlmanacCode/codealmanac.
Key points
- forget between sessions, forcing repeated re-explanation
- Storing context in a single file becomes unwieldy as it grows
- Almanac extracts context, decisions, gotchas, and from conversations into a wiki
- Claude automatically searches that wiki instead of needing manual re-explanation
- Free, , fully local, and hosted on GitHub as AlmanacCode/codealmanac
