Especially a layer that is largely out of band in a project (i.e. ~/.claude/…). In any project where I’ve needed memory I just add a line to AGENTS.md telling it to use MEMORY.md to save memories or STATUS.md to track progress.

I've been enjoying having a little todo file the agent updates as it goes along, because then I can keep track of progress without scrolling through aeons of "Combobulating..."

Also if context runs out you can just do "cat todo.md | agent" and you're off to the races again.

		Yep all my projects start with a PLAN.md at the root, and that acts as the ‘save file’ recording our progress over time. My session always ends with updating the plan file with what’s been done, and the next session always begins, as you suggest, with consuming the current state of the plan doc.
