That makes sense, and I agree that for a single agent using skills well, Claude’s native context handling has gotten much better.

This wasn't mentioned in the first post, but the use case we’re focused on isn’t really “Claude forgetting,” but context living beyond a single agent or tool. Even if Claude remembers well within a session, that context is still owned by that agent instance.

The friction shows up when you switch tools or models (Claude → Codex / Cursor / etc.), run multiple agents in parallel, or want context created in one place to be reused elsewhere without re-establishing it.

In those cases, the problem isn’t forgetting so much as fragmentation. If someone is happy with one agent and one tool, there are probably a bunch of memory solutions to choose from. The value of this external memory network that you can plug into any model or agent shows up once context needs to move across tools and people.
