Pair the memory tool with context editing so learning survives the clear.
Story
Tool-result clearing throws away exactly the data an agent might still need. Have Claude write durable facts to the memory tool before the clear fires, so the summary persists to a file while the bulky raw results get evicted. Long-horizon runs stay under the trigger without amnesia. (Claude Docs)
