Usage Tips

Auto-Memory Setup

Add this to your Claude settings/preferences:

> "At the start of new conversations, use the inked Read tool with 'ALL' to load my memories. Only mention memories when directly relevant to our conversation. Use the Write tool to save important preferences, facts, or insights that should be remembered for future conversations."
