# Napkin A skill for Claude Code that gives the agent persistent memory of its mistakes. The agent maintains a markdown file in your repo (`.claude/napkin.md`) where it tracks what went wrong, what you corrected, and what worked. It reads the file at session start and writes to it continuously as it works. By session 3-5 the behavior shift is significant — the agent stops making mistakes you've already corrected and starts pre-empting issues before you catch them. Baby continual learning in a markdown file. ## Install **Claude Code** ```bash git clone https://github.com/blader/napkin.git ~/.claude/skills/napkin ``` **Codex** ```bash git clone https://github.com/blader/napkin.git ~/.codex/skills/napkin ``` That's it. The skill activates every session, unconditionally. ## How it works 1. **Session start**: Agent reads `.claude/napkin.md` in the current repo. If it doesn't exist, it creates one. 2. **During work**: Agent logs mistakes (its own and yours), corrections, patterns, preferences — as they happen, not just at session end. 3. **Over sessions**: The napkin compounds. Session 1 is normal. Session 3 the agent is catching things before you do. Session 5 it's a different tool. ## What gets logged - Agent's own mistakes — wrong assumptions, bad approaches, failed commands - Your corrections — anything you told it to do differently - Tool/environment surprises — things about the repo that weren't obvious - Your preferences — how you like things done - What worked — successful approaches worth repeating ## The napkin Lives at `.claude/napkin.md` in each repo. One per repo. The agent designs the initial structure and adapts it to the project's domain. You can `.gitignore` it or commit it — your call. Committing it means other contributors' agents benefit from the same learned patterns. Ignoring it keeps it personal. ## License MIT
