Not for me. It gets worse when context is nearly full. I like to compact or clear context more often than it does automatically.

- nico 1y agoDo you do this via settings or just keep track of it and manually ask it to do it more often?
- furyofantares 1y ago(Not the person you're responding to, but) It says how close it is to compacting in bottom right, once it's getting close at least (30% left or something?) Whenever I see that I think about whether I can find a good point to compact or clear. I also just try to clear whenever it makes sense to avoid getting there and try to give smaller tasks that can be cleared after they're done when possible. Oh, I guess one thing I do is sometimes have it write a file with what was done, if I'm not actually sure if I want to clear or might want to come back to it. I also sometimes do this rather than compact during a large task - document status and clear.
- yumraj 1y agoI’ve thought about that but always forget, good to know it helps. I wish there were a way to persist in-memory context in a file automatically, say on each compact or git commit. Yesterday CC crashed and restarting it and feeding it all the context was a pain since my updated Claude.md file was a couple of days old. It literally went from a Sr Engineer to a Jr post crash.
- jswny 1y agoYou can do that with hooks! Make a small script that triggers on a commit tool use or a compact hook and reads the conversation file (should be available via inputs to the hook) and back it up somewhere
