Excerpt

Claude Historian

Search conversation history before starting fresh. You may already have the answer.

When to Use

Before WebSearch → search(query: "...", scope: "similar") or search(query: "...", scope: "conversations"). Past solutions beat web results.

Stuck on an error → search(query: "<error message>", scope: "errors"). Finds past fixes with code.

Entering a familiar project → search(scope: "sessions") for recent work. search(query: "...", scope: "plans") for past decisions.

Working on a familiar file → search(scope: "files", filepath: "src/index.ts"). Shows past changes with context.

Architecture Decision Records

Architecture Decision Records captures architectural decisions made during Claude Code sessions as structured ADRs, recording context, alternatives, and rationale. Use it when significant technical choices are made so future developers understand why the codebase is shaped the way it is.

AI-First Engineering

AI-First Engineering defines process, review, and architecture standards for teams where AI agents produce most implementation output. Use it to set ownership rules, quality gates, and evaluation criteria for agent-generated code.

Agentic OS

Agentic OS codifies a persistent multi-agent operating system architecture for Claude Code. Use it when building a multi-agent workflow with file-based memory, slash commands, and scheduled automation that survives session restarts.
