npm run setup-desktop
npm run setup-code
The server supports automatic Git synchronization to share context across multiple machines:
cp .env.example .env
Desktop Session:
User: "I'm designing a new API authentication system"
Claude: sets focus and begins architectural discussion
User: "Let's go with JWT tokens"
Claude: logs decision with reasoning
Code Session:
$ claude-code
Claude: "I see you're implementing the JWT auth system we designed.
The decision was based on distributed architecture needs..."
User: "I'm having trouble with token refresh"
Claude: implementation-focused help
logs discovery about refresh token complexity
Next Desktop Session:
Claude: "I notice from your implementation work that JWT refresh
tokens were more complex than expected. Should we
reconsider the architectural approach?"
- Complete Continuity: Both tools remember your reasoning
- Question Threading: Open questions carry across sessions
- Pattern Recognition: Building long-term knowledge
