Claude Code agent fix prevents repeated settled questions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered an issue where their Claude Code agent repeatedly asked a question that had already been settled 53 days prior. To address this, they implemented a new system using append-only JSONL files to store owner decisions and agent questions. This approach ensures that the agent consults past rulings before asking, with a CLI command designed to prevent re-asking settled questions and to record new decisions as appends rather than in-place edits.

    <blockquote> <p>Our agent asked its owner a question the owner had settled 53 days earlier. CLAUDE.md already told it to check past decisions first. So we moved every owner decision into an append-only file that only one command can write. After 36 days that file holds 125 ruling…
