Act on this, mostly signal

Claude wrongly says subagents are lost after clear or compact

What to do

Add a CLAUDE.md line stating that subagents, cron and loops survive /clear and /compact.

Why

A Reddit user reports subagents, cron and loops actually survive both commands, so the model's claim is wrong.

What the research found

A Reddit user reports Claude Code instances wrongly claim subagents are lost after /clear or /compact, though subagents, cron and loops actually survive both, and suggests a CLAUDE.md line to correct it.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

Subagents survive /compact and /clear in current Claude Code 93%
Claude wrongly claims subagent reports may be lost after /clear or /compact 90%
Adding a line to global CLAUDE.md can correct this assumption 70%
