Claude Code user builds nvm plugin to capture problem-solving context

A developer using Claude Code has created a simple plugin called nvm (non-volatile memory) to address a common problem when working with AI coding assistants: solving problems but later forgetting the thinking process behind the solution.

What nvm does

The plugin takes Claude session history and converts it into simple markdown cards. These cards focus on three key elements:

• What problem was solved
• Why certain decisions were made
• What can be reused later

How it's used

The developer reports using the tool for weekly and daily reviews, finding it helps remember what was learned (not just what was shipped). The markdown format also makes it useful for sharing context with teammates.

The problem it addresses

The developer noticed that while Claude Code helps solve problems effectively, the entire problem-solving process "gets volatilized" - meaning they could solve a problem but later have no idea how they solved it. This led to the question of whether others experience the same issue: do developers go back to their AI conversations, or do they just solve things again?
