I set up Claude Design the way its creator does, and I was missing out on so much

The author of an article about AI tool Claude Design shared their experience of setting it up like its creator. They learned that users often don't utilize the tool to its full potential and that the creator's way of using it can provide valuable insights.

The author conducted an experiment with Claude Code, a version of the tool, to test its auto memory feature. They found that a fact stored in auto memory was applied successfully in three out of four fresh sessions. In comparison, a line from a documentation file called CLAUDE.md was applied successfully in all four sessions.

According to the official documentation, Claude Code has two memory systems that are loaded at the start of every conversation and treated as context, not enforced configuration. This means that neither mechanism forces specific behavior, but rather provides text that the model reads. The experiment's results surprised the author, who had previously assumed that notes written by Claude in one session would influence subsequent sessions.
