We built CodeYam Memory because Claude Code kept making the same mistakes on our codebase. Our claude.md files quickly got stale and maintaining by hand or with Claude wasn’t sufficient.
While digging into this we found that Claude has a native rules system that allowed us to target specific parts of our repo with path matching. This was ideal for our use case but trying to manage these rules by hand was already not working and would be even harder with more granular, targeted rules.
CodeYam Memory uses a background agent to review your coding session transcripts, identifies confusion patterns, and generates targeted rules with proper scoping. You review and approve everything. Dashboard for auditing, a background-agent review process so nothing goes stale as code changes, tracking of everything lives in a simple file in git.
How to Get Started:
Install:
npm install -g @codeyam/codeyam-cli@latest
Then from your project root run:
codeyam
This will launch a dashboard with further instructions for initializing CodeYam Memory.
Free, runs locally, no login required, and language agnostic. Would love feedback.
