Babysitter session-memory

Mandatory memory persistence system across session resets using three markdown surfaces in .claude/cc10x/. Iron law - every workflow must load at start and update at end.

Session Memory

Overview

Persistent memory system that survives Claude Code's message compaction. Uses three markdown files in

.claude/cc10x/

as a permission-free database for continuity, consistency, and pattern compounding.

Memory Surfaces

activeContext.md -- Current focus, decisions, learnings, next steps, blockers
patterns.md -- Project conventions, architecture decisions, common gotchas, reusable solutions
progress.md -- Task completion tracking with verification evidence

Iron Law

EVERY WORKFLOW MUST:

LOAD memory at START (and before key decisions)
UPDATE memory at END (and after learnings/decisions)

Stable Edit Anchors

Safe section headers for Edit operations:

activeContext:

## Recent Changes

## Learnings

## References

patterns:
```
## Common Gotchas
```
,
```
## Project SKILL_HINTS
```
progress:
```
## Completed
```
,
```
## Verification
```

Read-Edit-Verify Pattern

Read file
Verify anchor exists
Edit with exact
```
old_string
```
Read back to confirm

Tool Rules

Use
```
Write()
```
for NEW files (permission-free)
Use
```
Edit()
```
for EXISTING files (permission-free)
Never use
```
Write()
```
to overwrite existing files
Never compound commands (
```
mkdir && cat
```
)

When to Use

At the start of every CC10X workflow (load)
At the end of every CC10X workflow (update)
Before making key decisions (check patterns)
After discovering learnings or gotchas (persist)

Agents Used

All CC10X agents use this skill. The cc10x-router manages load/update lifecycle.
