Ask Claude to fill this in at the end of a session, then clear, start fresh, and point the new session at this file alone. Carrying the verified decisions forward without the failed history attached is what stops the drift.
Prompt to use:
Write me a handoff file for this session. Cover what we were doing, what worked, what did not, the decisions we settled and why, and what comes next. Keep it short enough that a fresh session can read it and pick up without asking me to re-explain anything.
What we were doing
What worked
What did not work
Include the approaches that failed, so the next session does not try them again.
Decisions settled, and why
Record the reason, not only the rule. A written decision enforced long after the project moved past it becomes its own kind of drift, and the reason is what lets you tell when it no longer applies.
| Decision | Why we made it |
|---|---|
Verified state
Not what Claude reported. What you checked from outside.
What comes next

Open questions for me, not for Claude
