- 01 Context Lifecycle: Editing, Compaction, and Memory Three different mechanisms manage a long-running Claude agent's context — clearing stale tool results, summarising history server-side, and persisting files across sessions — and choosing wrongly between them is one of the most common architecture mistakes.
- 02 Context Management and Reliability Patterns Context preservation across long interactions, escalation decision-making, error propagation in multi-agent systems, and information provenance.
- 03 Multi-Agent Coordinator-Subagent Architecture Hub-and-spoke multi-agent design with coordinator delegation, isolated subagent context, parallel execution, and iterative refinement loops.
- 04 Prompt Caching Economics for Claude Agents Caching is a prefix match, so one interpolated timestamp can make an entire agent uncacheable; the architecture decisions that matter are ordering and stability, not where you place the breakpoint markers.
