# CORE.md Auto-Loading Removed (MCP-First Approach)
|
|
|
|
Removed the MEMORY.md symlink mechanism that auto-loaded CORE.md (~3K tokens) into every Claude Code session.
|
|
|
|
## Rationale
|
|
At 670 memories, CORE.md was a blunt instrument — every session paid the token tax regardless of relevance. Most entries were project-specific (Proxmox upgrades, PD card fixes, SBA Scout phases) with no universal value.
|
|
|
|
## New Approach
|
|
CLAUDE.md Memory Protocol section instructs Claude to use MCP `memory_recall` for on-demand context.
|
|
|
|
## Changes
|
|
- Removed 20 MEMORY.md symlinks
|
|
- Removed `ensure-symlinks` step from daily systemd service
|
|
- Updated CLAUDE.md to emphasize MCP recall over passive loading
|
|
- CORE.md still generated daily for manual browsing via `claude-memory core`
