+#### Continuous Conversation
+
+The Claude Code persona now supports continuous conversation, which maintains context across multiple messages in a chat session. This allows Claude to:
+
+- Remember previous questions and answers
+- Build upon earlier context in the conversation
+- Provide more coherent multi-turn interactions
+
+**Session Management:**
+
+The persona automatically manages conversation sessions. Each time you send a message,
+it's added to the ongoing conversation context.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- The first message automatically creates a new `ClaudeSDKClient` session.
+- Subsequent messages reuse the same client to maintain conversation context.
+- The client persists until you start a new session in the chat window.
