Claude Code Shared Memory

This file contains shared conventions, state file locations, and instructions that apply to all agents.

Plugin Status

This configuration can be installed as a plugin via .claude-plugin/plugin.json.

Shared State Files

All agents MUST read and follow the processes defined in these files:

File	Purpose	Writer
state/system-instructions.json	Central process definitions	master-orchestrator
state/future-considerations.json	Deferred features/decisions	master-orchestrator
state/model-policy.json	Model selection rules	master-orchestrator
state/autonomy-levels.json	Autonomy definitions	master-orchestrator
state/component-registry.json	Skills, commands, agents routing	master-orchestrator
state/personal-assistant-preferences.json	PA persistent config	personal-assistant
state/personal-assistant/general-instructions.json	User memory	personal-assistant
state/kb.json	Shared knowledge base	personal-assistant

Key Processes

Model Selection

• Start with lowest capable model (haiku → sonnet → opus)
• Escalate only when task complexity requires
• See state/model-policy.json for details

Autonomy Enforcement

• Default: conservative (confirm all write operations)
• Session overrides in state/sysadmin/session-autonomy.json
• See state/autonomy-levels.json for level definitions

Component Formats

Component	Format	Location
Agents	Markdown + YAML frontmatter	agents/
Skills	SKILL.md + scripts/ + references/	skills/
Commands	Markdown + YAML frontmatter	commands/
Workflows	YAML (design docs, not auto-executed)	workflows/
State	JSON	state/
Hooks	JSON	hooks/

model: sonnet|opus|haiku
tools: Tool1, Tool2, Tool3

Hooks

Hooks in hooks/hooks.json run on Claude Code events:

Event	Use For
SessionStart	Load context, initialize state
PostToolUse[Write|Edit]	Format code, run linters
PreCompact	Save summaries before context compaction

Notes

• Workflows are design documents, not auto-executed (see workflows/README.md)
• Agents are personas, not auto-spawned (see agents/README.md)
• Use component-registry.json for routing decisions
• No duplication: CLAUDE.md = overview, state JSON = details
