TrigMem - Trigallez's Memory Management Method¶

WARNING: Alpha Version - This method is under active development.

Introduction¶

TrigMem is a methodology for organizing Claude Code's memory and context effectively. It provides a systematic approach to deciding what information to store, where to store it, and how to balance the competing concerns of context economy, precision, and reusability.

The Problem¶

If you use Claude Code, you've probably encountered these pain points:

Where should this go? CLAUDE.md? A Rule? A Skill? A Command?
No clear decision criteria: Without guidance, your choices feel arbitrary and inconsistent
You mix universal patterns with project-specific paths and kill reusability - your Skills and Rules can't travel between projects
Your context window is finite - wrong placement wastes tokens and reduces effectiveness

The Solution¶

TrigMem addresses these problems through:

Clear categorization: 6 distinct information types, each with different characteristics and optimal storage locations
Multiple storage mechanisms: Each optimized for different trade-offs between persistence, visibility, and token cost
Two-phase decision guide: A practical triage → refinement process for making storage decisions
Explicit trade-off framework: Balance Context Economy, Precision, and Reusability intentionally
