Where 'Remember to Always Use pnpm' Actually Goes
You type "remember to always use pnpm, not npm, in this repo" mid-session.
Where does that instruction actually get saved, per this subject?
Solution
The correct answer is "Auto memory, not CLAUDE.md."
"Remember X" phrasing routes to auto memory specifically, which is a
distinct mechanism from CLAUDE.md — it does not go through
/memory's CLAUDE.md-editing path, and it doesn't land in a
.claude/rules/ file (those are for path-specific conventions with
explicit paths: frontmatter, not ad hoc "remember" statements). It
also doesn't vanish after the session — auto memory is exactly what
persists it without you running /memory yourself.
