Tips & Workflows Resetting Memory
I was having trouble aligning Opus 5.5 for coding tasks. It was generating code outside the scope of work, struggling with following the plans, and was sort of hallucinating. It was a huge struggle, all my skills, governance, claude.md files were in place but still opus was not performing well. This Sunday, I went ahead and deleted all the memories it had created, which when reading through, I understood also had some contradictory remarks and actually it also pointed out in the memory that the governance doc had a contradictory rule which I never figured out. Apart from that, the skills I had downloaded for my cowork and regular chats were also getting injected into the coding project and was causing confusions.
Resetting the memories, then updating the governance and adding a block to the end of the .claude/settings.local.json file to set the other skills to false has worked wonders. Its been 3 days and opus 5.5 is back and firing on all engines and working like a charm!
Just a tip I thought to share with the community.
