Original: Your Claude Code sub-agents keep losing the thread. Give them one shared record.

Short summary

Claude Code sub-agents lose coordination state when context windows compact, leaving fresh sessions blind to prior work. The fix is a durable external record — issues filed and updated by agents as they work — that survives session boundaries. Radial provides a CLI, REST API, and MCP server against a shared issue lifecycle so agents read and write the same state regardless of how they connect.

  • Claude Code sub-agents suffer 'context amnesia' when context windows compact and coordination state is lost
  • Durable issue tracking outside the model's memory is the solution — agents file and comment on issues as they work
  • Radial ships CLI, REST API, and MCP server against one shared issue lifecycle for agent-driven state management
