Sometimes its good to start fresh. LLMs need large context restart's sometimes so they can better identify holes that they become blind to.

I might be missing out on something but I never had to explain my project. Just give it a task, or if you really want to, type it quickly, then you are good to go.

I can’t imagine this being worth optimizing. The issue is never that Claude can’t figure out what the projects is about…

Am I missing something or does this project not solve a problem most regular people have?

Nothing wrong with a toy project.

IntelliJ handles this for you. Basically it sends half your project to Claude even if you're asking some question about Star Wars.

Yeah but it could have sent the other half of the project too.

Willing to try this but the author missed that Claude also has memory.md

If I need context for a session then that is output from a previous session, otherwise I find any “memory” functionality cumbersome.

I saw /graphify recently which cuts down on exploration cost and seems more appealing (although I haven’t tried it yet)

Are there any benchmarks/evals to back the claims? Or how do you know that it helps reducing waste?

Back in the human age of coding, I felt the same way sometimes

I never have to because I use a ticketing system the model goes through in addition to a CLAUDE.md file with a summary, including vision, goals, non-goals etc

Any tricks to get Claude to actually use the CLAUDE.md consistently? Many times now its completely ignored it, despite being short, concise + generated by Claude itself, and I see bug reports about this that are over a year old
