Every time you start a new Claude session:

• You re-explain who you are and what you do
• You re-describe your project and where you left off
• You rebuild the same workflows from scratch
• You lose context, insights, and momentum

What if Claude remembered everything?

First Time:

```

You: "hi"

AI: Shows Nexus menu with:

🧠 MEMORY - Not configured ▸ 'setup goals'

📦 PROJECTS - None yet ▸ 'create project'

🔧 SKILLS - 26 available

💡 SUGGESTED: 'setup goals' to teach Nexus about you

You: "create project for launching v2.0 dashboard"

AI: [Creates project structure, guides planning]

✅ Project created: 01-dashboard-launch

```

Next Session:

```

You: "hi"

AI: Shows your context:

🧠 MEMORY - Role: PM at SaaS | Goal: Launch v2.0

📦 PROJECTS - • dashboard-launch | IN_PROGRESS | 42%

💡 SUGGESTED: 'continue dashboard-launch' - resume at 42%

You: "continue dashboard-launch"

AI: [Loads all context, shows exactly where you left off]

"You're on Phase 2: Design. Next task: Review wireframes."

```

That's the magic. No re-explaining. Ever.

Nexus gives you three things:

1. Memory That Persists

Your role, goals, and learnings are saved in files. Every session, Claude loads them automatically. You never start from zero.

2. Projects With Structure

Work happens in Projects — with planning documents, task lists, and progress tracking. Everything auto-saves.

3. Skills You Can Reuse

Capture workflows you repeat. Say "create skill" after doing something useful, and it becomes a one-command action forever.

Memory — Your Persistent Context

The 01-memory/ folder stores who you are (auto-created on first run):

```

01-memory/

├── goals.md ← YOUR role, objectives, success metrics

├── user-config.yaml ← Language & preferences

├── core-learnings.md ← Patterns that grow over time

└── session-reports/ ← Auto-generated session history

```

Every session, Claude loads these files first. It knows your context before you say anything.
