# Project Memory for Claude Code + Codex Configure project memory so Claude Code and Codex get stable, scoped instructions across sessions without bloating every prompt. For shared teams, keep the portable project rules in `AGENTS.md`, mirror that into `CLAUDE.md` when needed, and keep tool-specific behavior in the tool's native layer. Treat repo memory as a **living exception file**. If an agent can reliably infer something by reading the code, config, or README, keep it out of the always-loaded layer. Put only the durable, non-inferable guidance here. ## Quick Reference | Layer | Typical Location | Purpose | |------|------------------|---------| | Shared project memory | `./AGENTS.md` | Portable repo instructions for Codex and other AGENTS.md-aware tools | | Claude project memory | `./CLAUDE.md` | Claude Code project instructions; often a symlink or mirror of `AGENTS.md` | | Claude scoped rules | `./.claude/rules/*.md` | Modular Claude-only rules, optionally path-scoped | | Codex personal memory | `~/.codex/AGENTS.md` | Personal defaults across repositories | | Codex repo-local override | `./AGENTS.override.md` | Local developer override when you need a non-shared layer | | Codex auto-memory | `~/.codex/memories/` (opt-in via `[features] memories = true`) | Machine-local accumulated recall; off by default in EEA/UK/CH; keep must-always rules in `AGENTS.md`, not here | | Claude auto memory | `~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/` — `MEMORY.md` index + topic files | Machi...
