Works with Claude Code

Varyz for Claude Code

Last updated: 18 October 2026

Claude Code reads your CLAUDE.md files and keeps its own memory. Varyz works beside them. It gives Claude Code your vision, taste, and creative perspective: the preferences, project decisions and standards you would otherwise repeat in every session. Then you can hand over a task and step away.

01

What Varyz adds to Claude Code

  • A briefing before work starts. On the first prompt of a task, Varyz tells Claude Code how you work and what this project has already settled.
  • Answers instead of guesses. When Claude Code is about to assume something about you, such as a colour, a word, a tool or what to leave out, it asks Varyz first. If you already decided, it gets your answer.
  • Only new questions reach you. When a preference or fact is genuinely missing, the questions come together as short choices. In away mode they wait for your return.
  • A finish check. Before Claude Code reports that it is done, it goes through your checklist for that kind of work. Each item is done, or it explains why not.
  • Habits kept apart from one-offs. A rule like "every website gets a privacy page" follows you into every project. "This project's accent colour is violet" stays with one project.
02

How it connects

Varyz runs on your own computer. Connecting it to Claude Code needs no account and no API key.

  • A local MCP server. Claude Code talks to Varyz through the Model Context Protocol, over stdio on your machine.
  • Three hooks. Session start, prompt submit and stop. They bring in the briefing and the finish check, so you do not have to remember to ask for them. Every hook fails open: if Varyz has a problem, Claude Code carries on as usual. varyz hooks pause turns them off at any time.
  • A skill. It tells Claude Code when to consult Varyz: whenever it is about to assume something about you.
  • A short section in CLAUDE.md. Connecting adds one marked section to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Everything you wrote stays as it is, the file is backed up first, and varyz uninstall takes the section out again.
03

How it learns from your Claude Code sessions

Varyz learns how you work from your past messages to AI agents. In Claude Code it reads eligible conversations through a background reader agent that runs on your own plan. Anything sensitive is skipped, and passwords and keys are removed.

A rule with strong evidence, such as a correction you made more than once, takes effect as a trial rule, and agents are told you have not confirmed it yet. The rest waits for your review. You can review, replace or take back anything Varyz learned, and agents hear the new version from then on.

04

Use it with your CLAUDE.md

Keep team conventions in your project's CLAUDE.md, where every contributor's agent sees them. Varyz carries what is yours: your taste, your decisions and your standards, across every project. How Varyz compares with CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and Cursor rules.
