Memory & Context

`autoMemoryEnabled`

Type: boolean
Default: unspecified
Description: Toggle auto-memory extraction. When enabled, Claude automatically extracts and stores important context from sessions for future reference.
Example:
```
{
  "autoMemoryEnabled": true
}
```

`autoDreamEnabled`

Type: boolean
Default: unspecified
Description: Background consolidation of auto-memory. When enabled, Claude periodically consolidates accumulated memory entries in the background.
Example:
```
{
  "autoDreamEnabled": true
}
```

`cleanupPeriodDays`

Type: number
Default: 30
Description: Session files older than this period (in days) are deleted at startup. Minimum value is 1. Setting to 0 is rejected with a validation error. Also controls the age cutoff for automatic removal of orphaned subagent worktrees at startup.
Example:
```
{
  "cleanupPeriodDays": 20
}
```

`autoCompactWindow`

Type: number
Default: unspecified
Description: Token threshold that triggers automatic context compaction. When the context window exceeds this threshold, Claude automatically compacts the conversation to reduce token usage.
Example:
```
{
  "autoCompactWindow": 8000
}
```

`fileCheckpointingEnabled`

Type: boolean
Default: true
Description: Snapshot files before edits to preserve versions and enable undo-style operations. When enabled, Claude creates backups of files before making changes.
Example:
```
{
  "fileCheckpointingEnabled": true
}
```
