I use 92% of context, have Claude write a “work summary” to a context folder, commit, push, quit, restart, repeat.
I’m never stopped and Claude always remembers what we’re doing.
This pattern has been highly productive for 8 months.
You should never let context get that high unless you’re doing really basic things. Somewhere 40-60% is generally the time to start thinking about exits for tougher tasks. Get out in the 60s.
I keep work chunks small, which is why I can hit 90%. If I do I have a large task like a big planning effort, yes I’d start fresh.
