Overview
About This Skill
Claude Code Branch Memory Manager solves the problem of losing development context when switching git branches. It stores and loads branch-specific CLAUDE.md files automatically, keeping separate memories for each branch in a .claude/memories/ directory. Works as a Claude Code plugin that intercepts git checkout and git switch commands, or as a standalone CLI tool. Install via npm and memories switch automatically—no manual intervention required. Ideal for developers juggling multiple feature branches who need Claude to remember the right context for each task.
How to Use
Install via npm: npm install --save-dev claude-code-branch-memory-manager. Load as a plugin with claude --plugin-dir ./node_modules/claude-code-branch-memory-manager. Once installed, memories switch automatically when you run git checkout or git switch inside Claude Code. Alternatively, use the CLI with commands like branch-memory save, branch-memory switch, and branch-memory list to manage memories manually.
Use Cases
Switch between feature branches without losing Claude Code context and notes
Maintain separate development notes and progress tracking per branch
Automatically backup and restore branch-specific memories when checking out
