This template provides the backbone for any project where Claude Code will be a contributor. Since Claude doesn't remember what has been done after each session ends, this setup allows you to continue exactly where you left off with Claude by maintaining project context and ensuring session continuity.
- Claude Code sessions are stateless—no memory between conversations
- Project context is lost when starting new sessions
- Repetitive explanations of project structure and goals are required
- Development momentum is lost between sessions
This template solves these issues by providing:
- CLAUDE.md: Maintains persistent project context and status
- Session Management: Scripts to restore and continue previous work
- Automated Setup: Consistent project initialization
- Context Preservation: Clear documentation of current state and next steps
- Open terminal
- Run
claude

- Start with your project tasks.
- Open terminal
- Run
claude
and send for the new session (when continuing a project) PromptThis is a new session, Read .claude/session_template.md
- Proceed with your project tasks.
