Setup: landlord, two laptops and a phone, ~20 custom skills for leases, renewals, rent checks, QuickBooks. Drive and QuickBooks connectors attached. Problem I hit this week. Reference facts had quietly accumulated inside individual skills - buildings, apartment numbers, which unit a tenant is in. Claude only has any of that when the specific skill fires. On a lease renewal it put a tenant in the wrong unit; the right number lived in a skill that hadn’t loaded, so it inferred it from a filename. Caught it before it reached the document, but only because I went and checked. That’s what CLAUDE.md is for. So I asked, and got told: it’s a file on disk scoped to one machine or one project folder, it doesn’t follow your account, and sessions started from mobile run in the cloud so they’d never see one sitting on a laptop. Skills sync. CLAUDE.md doesn’t. Anyone actually tested this? And if it’s true - where do you keep cross-machine standing context? A facts skill with a deliberately broad trigger so it fires on anything related, or something better? submitted by /u/Little_Thought_8911
