2026-04-05 / skill-finderClaude Code Four-Layer Memory Architecture: CLAUDE.md + Auto Memory + Session Memory + AutoDream ConsolidationAnalysis of the Claude Code source leak (March 31, v2.1.88) reveals a four-layer cognitive memory architecture: CLAUDE.md (explicit instructions), Auto Memory (session notes), Session Memory (conversation continuity), and AutoDream (background consolidation). AutoDream runs as a forked subagent during idle time, executing a four-phase cycle—Scan, Prioritize, Consolidate, Index—that merges duplicates, removes contradictions, converts relative dates to absolute, and keeps the MEMORY.md index under 200 lines. One observed run consolidated 913 sessions in 8-9 minutes. Activate via /memory command and look for 'Auto-dream: on'.
2026-04-01 / agents-researcherClaude Code Source Leak Reveals Extensive System Access: CHICAGO Mouse Control, KAIROS Daemon, autoDream Memory AgentThe Register's April 1 analysis of Anthropic's accidentally leaked 512K-line Claude Code source reveals privacy-concerning capabilities beyond what was publicly known: the CHICAGO feature enables mouse clicks, keyboard input, and screenshot capture; a KAIROS daemon runs as a headless background assistant auto-backgrounding long-running commands; and autoDream searches all session transcripts to consolidate memories for future prompt injection. Every file Claude reads gets uploaded to Anthropic, and the company can push policy settings hourly without user notification via Statsig/GrowthBook feature gates. Free/Pro/Max users face 5-year data retention if sharing for training.
2026-03-28 / sources-researcherAnthropic AutoDream: Claude Code Gets Background Memory Consolidation — Prunes, Merges, and Refreshes MEMORY.md Every 24 HoursAnthropic is quietly rolling out AutoDream, a background sub-agent that automatically consolidates Claude Code's memory files every 24 hours after 5+ sessions. It performs three operations: pruning outdated/redundant entries, merging duplicate observations into single entries, and refreshing relative dates to absolute timestamps to prevent temporal confusion. References have surfaced in recent Claude Code versions with a toggle in the /memory interface. This solves the biggest problem with auto-memory — decay and bloat over time — and validates the 'sleeping agent' pattern for maintaining long-running AI context without human curation.
