frequently your session/context may drop (e.g. claude crashes, or your internet dies, or your computer restarts, etc.). Claude does best when it can recover the context and understand the current situation from clear documentation, rather than trying to reverse engineer intent and structure from an existing code base. Also, the human frequently does read the code docs as there may be places where Claude gets stuck or doesn't do what you want, but a human can reason their way into success and unstick the obstacle.
- manwe150 1y agoFrom Claude -r you can resume any conversation at any previous point, so there isn’t a way to lose context that way. As opposed to compact, which I find makes it act brain dead afterwards for a while
- r_murphey 1y agoOh God yes, I wish there were better tools to help one curate and condense a context when one finds that sweet spot where it's writing great code.
- Der_Einzige 1y agoI promise you that token context rot is worse than the gains from added natural language explanations
- felixgallo 1y agoThis hasn't been my experience.
- alwillis 1y agoKeep in mind each Claude subagent gets its own context.
