Now let's try using the memory feature. This is a way to set context for your next prompt without cluttering up the current conversation.

Here's what I want you to do: When you press # at the start of a line in Claude Code, what you type goes into memory. It's not seen by the Claude session until the next prompt is sent. This is perfect for setting up context.

Try typing these lines, each starting with #: - The main application for this project is in your preferred language - Use your preferred test framework for the test suite - Use sqlite for the database

Then type /memory to commit these memory items.

What this does is prepare context for your next interaction. When you send your next prompt, Claude will have this information available, but it won't clutter up your current conversation history. It's a clean way to set project parameters without wasting context tokens on the setup.
