What's Wrong?
Claude forgets the last prompt due to agent use and compacting of context. After that it wants to continue the next task instead of doing a check on last task causing it to lose those memories after the next prompt.
Also, non related to auto-compact as this happens also in the beginning and during a session with enough context left: It simply cant follow orders, it has to give its own spin to the cmds which are always completely off-base.
This happens today regularly, in contrast to yesterday and before that. A slow decrease untill now.
What Should Happen?
Its should act as can be reasonable expected. Not delete files, not remember last prompts, etc.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
Ask it to do a codebase research with agents and see the context immediately decreasing to auto-compact and then forgetting 50% at least of what it should be doing or was doing.
