MemClaw Session History: How to Track What You Built and When

· 2 min read

Session history in MemClaw automatically logs what you built, when, and why. This guide shows how to use session history to track progress and query past work.

MemClaw Session History: Build a Searchable Log of Everything You've Built

One of MemClaw's most underappreciated features is session history. Every time you run /end, Claude writes a summary of what was done to your workspace. Over time, this builds a searchable log of your entire development history. Start building your session history with MemClaw → memclaw.me

What Session History Gives You

After a few weeks of consistent /end usage, your workspace contains: This history is searchable. Ask Claude "what did we do last week?" or "when did we implement authentication?" and it can answer accurately.

How Session History Gets Built

The /end slash command triggers Claude to write a session summary: .claude/commands/end.md: Claude writes something like:

Using Session History

Picking up after a break

Claude loads the session history and gives you a complete briefing.

Understanding past decisions

Claude searches the session history and gives you the full context.

Onboarding new team members

Claude synthesizes the session history into an onboarding brief.

Sprint retrospectives

Claude pulls the relevant session history for the sprint period.

Best Practices

Run /end every session: The history is only as complete as your consistency. Missing sessions create gaps. Be specific in session summaries: When Claude writes the summary, review it and add anything important that was missed. Log decisions explicitly: Don't rely on Claude to infer decisions from what was built. Log them explicitly: "Add to workspace: we decided X because Y."

Getting Started

  1. Create a workspace at memclaw.me
  2. Create the /end slash command
  3. Run /end at the end of every session
  4. After a week, ask Claude "what did we build this week?" Start building your session history → memclaw.me
