Why Your Agent Keeps Losing Context Mid-Project (And the Fix That Actually Works)
AI agents, including Claude, often lose context during long projects due to their stateless nature and limited context windows. This leads to agents forgetting previous decisions and requiring users to re-explain project details, breaking workflow and eroding trust. The solution involves implementing persistent, structured memory outside the model's context window to store project state and reasoning, which goes beyond the current capabilities of built-in summarization features.
