I spent six months testing Claude patterns. One method works better than the rest: work logs.
A work log is a summary of your development work. It acts as a daily journal. It records technical steps and the reasons behind your decisions.
I use two specific commands to build this system.
/snapshot-session: This creates a brief summary of a single session. I run this before I clear my chat context. I do this many times a day. It saves the summary to a temporary file.
/end-session: This runs at the end of the day. It compiles every snapshot into one daily file. It also cleans up your temporary files.
The files follow a simple folder structure by month and day.
This system builds a knowledge base. It gains value every day. You will face moments where a client asks a question you answered months ago. Instead of searching your memory, you ask Claude to search your work logs.
You can make this system better by connecting Gmail or Slack. When you receive an email about a bug, do not copy and paste it. Let Claude read it directly.
This adds names and context to your logs. Claude learns who asked what. You can ask, "Who asked about this feature before?" and get an answer.
Setting this up requires discipline. You must capture information while it is fresh. You cannot recreate a work log after the day ends.
Building this habit now pays off as your logs grow over months and years.
