01 / why not just a CLAUDE.md?
Your CLAUDE.md is frozen. Your lore keeps learning.
A rules file holds what you knew to write down before anything broke. LoreKit captures what your agents find out the hard way — and keeps sorting it: what recurs becomes a rule, what nobody uses gets archived.
A rules file compared with LoreKit| Aspect | CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md | LoreKit |
|---|
| Written by | You, when you remember to. | Your agents, the moment they hit friction. |
|---|
| Knows | What you predicted would matter. | What actually broke — and the fix that worked. |
|---|
| Shows up | All of it, every session. | What matches: at session start, on each prompt, on the failing call. |
|---|
| Over time | Grows until someone prunes it. | Promotes what recurs. Archives what nobody uses. |

Keep your CLAUDE.md. LoreKit is how you find out what has earned a place in it.
Error-matched recall runs on Claude Code’s hooks; Cursor reads lessons through its rule and an end-of-turn hook.
