Agent memory management persists conversation state between turns using the Claude Agent SDK. Load context from settingSources, apply system prompts and CLAUDE.md guidelines, maintain message history, and save state to disk for multi-turn dialogue that stays contextually aware.

Yes. Use settingSources to load project and user context directly into agents. The Agent SDK applies CLAUDE.md files and project guidelines automatically, enabling agents to reference your codebase and conventions without manual prompt engineering.

Implement content chunking and context window management through the Agent SDK. This automatically segments large inputs, manages message history efficiently, and ensures conversation state stays within token limits while preserving conversation continuity.

The Agent SDK provides memory persistence to disk, allowing you to save and reload conversation state between sessions. Store message history and context snapshots locally for agents that need to maintain awareness across disconnected conversations.

You can use direct or dynamic system prompts with the Agent SDK. settingSources and CLAUDE.md files provide automatic context, but you can override or customize prompts programmatically for agents requiring specific response patterns or reasoning styles.

Yes. The Agent SDK handles both single-turn queries and multi-turn dialogues through unified memory and context management. Message history and state persistence enable agents to maintain coherent reasoning across multiple conversation turns.
