I got tired of Claude forgetting what it learned, so I built something to fix it
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Empirica is an epistemic tracking system designed to improve Claude AI's memory.
- •It allows Claude to explicitly record its knowledge, uncertainties, and reasoning.
- •The system reconstructs Claude's thought process, not just logs actions.
- •It improves productivity by allowing the reloading of a structured epistemic state after context compacting.
- •The project is open-source and available on GitHub.
“The key insight: It's not just logging. At any point - even after a compact - you can reconstruct what Claude was thinking, not just what it did.”
