Claude Code 2.1.33: Empowering Agents with Persistent Memory
Analysis
Anthropic's Claude Code 2.1.33 introduces a fascinating new feature: persistent memory for sub-agents! This enhancement allows agents to retain and leverage learned knowledge across sessions, enabling more sophisticated and efficient workflows. The ability for agents to 'remember' opens up exciting possibilities for long-running tasks and continuous learning.
Key Takeaways
- •Memory is configured via a 'memory' field in the agent's YAML frontmatter.
- •Three memory scopes are available: user (default), project, and local, providing flexibility in knowledge storage.
- •The system automatically handles MEMORY.md management and tool activation (Read, Write, Edit) when memory is enabled.
