An active, evolving memory system for Claude Projects. File-based (manual) or Edit-based (automatic).
This is the natural way of using AMN: an extended memory without limitations. This approach is used when the Claude Memory feature is not active. You will have to upload the amn_base.xml and subsequent updates to the Project files.
This is the AMN adapted to the native Claude Memory feature. Claude manages its memory automatically. The Claude Memory feature must be enabled in Settings > Capabilites. This was a recent addition to the original AMN: though limited in capacity (30 edits, 200 characters/edit, 6KB total), we saw a valuable opportunity to automate the AMN. This is an early stage experiment.
- Turn the Claude Memory feature ON or OFF in Settings > Capabilities > Generate memory from chat history
- Create a new Claude Project
- Copy/Paste the amn_v0.3.md content in the Project Instructions
- Start a conversation
For the file-based approach, the first conversation should produce the base_amn.xml file to upload in the Project Files. The following conversations should produce amn_update_NNN.xml files to add to the Project Files.
For the edit-based approach, Claude should automatically update its Memory when needed.
