Pensieve is a self-growing project memory system for AI coding agents, implemented as a skill that replaces a static CLAUDE.md with a four-layer structured knowledge base of conventions, decisions, facts, and workflows. It auto-accumulates lessons during development and routes knowledge on demand to minimize context usage.

Use cases

  • give my AI agent persistent project memory
  • replace CLAUDE.md with auto-updating project knowledge
  • store architecture decisions so Claude remembers why
  • validate AI-generated plans against project conventions
  • stop re-explaining project specs to my coding assistant
  • build a knowledge graph from daily development sessions

When to choose

  • you use Claude Code or any AI tool supporting skills and want accumulated project context
  • you repeatedly re-explain conventions, decisions, or module boundaries to your agent
  • you want lessons from code review automatically captured and reused

When to avoid

  • you prefer a simple, manually curated CLAUDE.md or agents.md
  • your project is small enough that static docs suffice
  • your AI tooling does not support the skills mechanism
