Problem Statement
Claude Code's memory system stores project-specific memories as local Markdown
files under ~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/. There is currently no built-in
way to transfer memories to another machine, share them across projects, or keep
them in sync across developer machines.
Proposed Solution
A native export/import mechanism, e.g.:
claude memory export --output memories.zip
claude memory import memories.zip
Or a sync mechanism similar to ShareOnboardingGuide that allows sharing via link
or syncing to a remote location.
Alternative Solutions
- Manually copying Markdown files between machines
- Storing ~/.claude/ in a dotfiles Git repository
- Duplicating memory content into CLAUDE.md
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
API and model interactions
Use Case Example
When working on the same project across multiple machines or onboarding team
members, having to manually recreate memory context is tedious and error-prone.
