Review CLAUDE.md from conversation history Analyze recent conversations to improve both global (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) and local (project) CLAUDE.md files. Step 1: Find conversation history The project's conversation history is in ~/.claude/projects/ . The folder name is the project path with slashes replaced by dashes.
Find the project folder (replace / with -)
PROJECT_PATH
$( pwd | sed 's|/|-|g' | sed 's|^-||' ) CONVO_DIR =~ /.claude/projects/- ${PROJECT_PATH} ls -lt " $CONVO_DIR " /.jsonl | head -20 Step 2: Extract recent conversations Extract the 15-20 most recent conversations (excluding the current one) to a temp directory: SCRATCH = /tmp/claudemd-review- $( date +%s ) mkdir -p " $SCRATCH " for f in $( ls -t " $CONVO_DIR " /.jsonl | head -20 ) ; do basename = $( basename " $f " .jsonl )
Skip current conversation if known
cat " $f " | jq -r ' if .type == "user" then "USER: " + (.message.content // "") elif .type == "assistant" then "ASSISTANT: " + ((.message.content // []) | map(select(.type == "text") | .text) | join("\n")) else empty end ' 2
/dev/null | grep -v "^ASSISTANT: $"
" $SCRATCH / ${basename} .txt" done ls -lhS " $SCRATCH " Step 3: Spin up Sonnet subagents Launch parallel Sonnet subagents to analyze conversations. Each agent should read: Global CLAUDE.md: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md Local CLAUDE.md: ./CLAUDE.md (if exists) Batch of conversation files Give each agent this prompt template: Read: 1. Global CLAUDE.md: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md 2. Local CLAUDE.md: [project]/CLAUDE.md 3. Conversations: [list of files] Analyze the conversations against BOTH CLAUDE.md files. Find: 1. Instructions that exist but were violated (need reinforcement or rewording) 2. Patterns that should be added to LOCAL CLAUDE.md (project-specific) 3. Patterns that should be added to GLOBAL CLAUDE.md (applies everywhere) 4. Anything in either file that seems outdated or unnecessary Be specific. Output bullet points only. Batch conversations by size: Large (>100KB): 1-2 per agent Medium (10-100KB): 3-5 per agent Small (<10KB): 5-10 per agent Step 4: Aggregate findings Combine results from all agents into a summary with these sections: Instructions violated - existing rules that weren't followed (need stronger wording) Suggested additions - LOCAL - project-specific patterns Suggested additions - GLOBAL - patterns that apply everywhere Potentially outdated - items that may no longer be relevant Present as tables or bullet points. Ask user if they want edits drafted.
