Context Management

Ask Claude to log architecture decisions and TODOs into a repo file that can be re-read after /compact.

Proactively run `/compact` with focus instructions so summaries keep the work that matters instead of stale debugging.

Double-Esc /rewind back to after useful file reads, then re-prompt with what you learned—without the failed approach still in context.

Run /context to break down token consumers—CLAUDE.md, MCP tools, conversation—and prune the expensive ones.

Declare a Compact Instructions section in CLAUDE.md so both manual /compact and autocompact preserve the project’s critical decisions by default.

Use /clear between unrelated tasks so leftover debugging does not bias the next feature.

Use /btw for single-turn clarifications that share full context but never enter conversation history or burn future tokens.
