Wtf.md and Dreaming: Two Claude Workflow Concepts Worth Exploring

A r/ClaudeAI user describes two workflow concepts they've built to reduce mistakes and consolidate session knowledge: Wtf.md and Dreaming. Both are implemented as simple files and scheduled tasks, offering a practical pattern for anyone running long-term Claude sessions.

Wtf.md: Logging Claude's Mistakes

Wtf.md is a dedicated file for storing everything Claude gets wrong. The idea is to separate these errors into two categories:

• Project-specific: Mistakes tied to your particular codebase, config, or domain.
• Model-specific: Errors that stem from Claude itself — recurring patterns of misunderstanding or hallucination.

The user currently implements this as a skill that they manually trigger whenever they spot an error. This creates a growing reference that can be used to preempt issues in future sessions.

Dreaming: Nightly Consolidation

Dreaming is based on Andrej Karpathy's concept of consolidating information from all sessions at the end of each day. The goal is to merge insights, decisions, and lessons learned into a single reference that Claude can leverage next day.

In this setup, Dreaming runs as a scheduled task at 4 AM daily. Because it runs while the machine is idle, it doesn't interrupt work and has the full context of the previous day's sessions.

Why This Matters

These patterns address two common pain points with AI coding agents:

• Memory limits: Sessions are isolated, so context from yesterday is lost unless explicitly carried over.
• Repetition: Without a feedback loop, Claude will repeat the same mistakes across sessions.

By logging errors and consolidating knowledge, you create a continuous improvement loop.

Who It's For

Developers who use Claude (or similar agents) for substantial projects and want to minimize repeated mistakes and maintain context across sessions.
