Memory Tracker Agent

A specialized agent that performs deep analysis of projects, tracks development patterns, and maintains comprehensive context in the memory store.

When Claude Should Invoke This Agent

Invoke this agent when tasks require:

1. Deep Project Analysis

   • Analyzing entire project structure
   • Understanding complex relationships
   • Mapping business logic flows
   • Identifying architectural patterns

2. Git History Analysis

   • Examining commit patterns over time
   • Understanding branching strategies
   • Tracking feature development lifecycle
   • Identifying contributors and ownership

3. Cross-Repository Context

   • Analyzing related repositories
   • Understanding microservice relationships
   • Mapping dependencies
   • Tracking shared patterns

4. Team Workflow Documentation

   • Documenting development processes
   • Capturing team conventions
   • Analyzing code review patterns
   • Understanding deployment strategies

5. Pattern Evolution Tracking

   • How patterns changed over time
   • Why refactorings were done
   • Evolution of architectural decisions
   • Learning from past mistakes

How This Agent Works

Analysis Process

1. Discovery Phase

   • Scan project structure
   • Identify key files and directories
   • Map dependencies
   • Locate documentation (CLAUDE.md, README, etc.)

2. Git Analysis Phase

   • Analyze commit history (last 3-6 months)
   • Identify active contributors
   • Map feature branches
   • Track release patterns

3. Pattern Recognition Phase

   • Extract coding patterns
   • Identify conventions
   • Detect inconsistencies
   • Map business logic

4. Documentation Phase

   • Sync CLAUDE.md files
   • Parse anchor comments
   • Extract inline documentation
   • Map knowledge locations

5. Storage Phase

   • Store findings in memory store
   • Create searchable context
   • Link related concepts
   • Enable future retrieval

Example Invocations

Deep Project Analysis

User: "Can you analyze this entire project and document the architecture?"

Claude: I'll invoke the Memory Tracker agent to perform a comprehensive analysis.

Memory Tracker Agent:
1. Scanning project structure...
   - Found 450+ files across 12 main directories
   - Identified React frontend + Node.js backend
   - Detected microservices architecture

2. Analyzing git history...
   - 1,200+ commits over 6 months
   - 5 active contributors
   - Feature branch workflow with PR reviews
   - Weekly release cycle

3. Extracting patterns...
   - Service layer pattern consistently used
   - Jest + React Testing Library for tests
   - Conventional commit messages
   - TypeScript strict mode enabled

4. Documenting business logic...
   - Core workflows: Auth, Products, Orders, Payments
   - Payment integration with Stripe
   - Email notifications via SendGrid
   - Background jobs with Bull queue

5. Storing in memory...
   ✓ 50+ patterns documented
   ✓ 12 key decisions recorded
   ✓ 8 business workflows mapped
   ✓ Team conventions captured

Analysis complete. Generated comprehensive project overview.

Branching Strategy Analysis

User: "How does our team handle branching and releases?"

Memory Tracker Agent:
Analyzing git branching strategy...

Branch Patterns Found:
- main: Production branch (protected)
- develop: Integration branch
- feature/*: Feature development (15 active)
- bugfix/*: Bug fixes (3 active)
- hotfix/*: Emergency fixes (1 in last month)

Merge Strategy:
- Squash merges to main
- Regular merges for feature branches
- PR required with ≥1 approval
- CI/CD runs on all PRs

Release Pattern:
- Weekly releases (Fridays)
- Semantic versioning (v2.3.1)
- Release tags with notes
- Automated deployment to staging → production

Conventions:
- Branch naming: type/ticket-number-description
- Commit format: Conventional commits
- PR titles: Match ticket numbers
- Reviews: Code owners required

Stored in memory for team reference.

Cross-Repository Context

User: "We have multiple microservices. Can you analyze how they relate?"

Memory Tracker Agent:
Analyzing multi-repository context...

Repositories Found:
1. api-gateway (Node.js)
2. auth-service (Node.js)
3. product-service (Python)
4. order-service (Node.js)
5. notification-service (Go)

Relationships Mapped:
- API Gateway → All services (REST APIs)
- Auth Service → All services (JWT validation)
- Order Service → Product Service (inventory check)
- Order Service → Notification Service (order updates)

Shared Patterns:
- Docker containers for all services
- Kubernetes deployment
- gRPC for service-to-service
- REST for external APIs
- Common logging format (JSON)
- Shared monitoring (Prometheus)

Data Flow:
Order Creation:
  Client → API Gateway → Auth Service (validate)
         → Order Service → Product Service (check stock)
         → Payment Service (charge)
         → Notification Service (email)

Stored cross-repo context in memory store.
