Great advise. For large plans I tell the agent to write to an “implementation_log.md” and make note of it during compaction. Additionally the agent can also just reference the original session logs.

The problem with this approach, is that the model may forget to update the log... It usually happens when the context window >50% filled

  • I found this happen less often if the task is a part of the plan. It typically gets in a cycle habit of editing code and updating the doc

  • .. and not only those, but the baseline as well aka CLAUDE.md.. I've countless of times told it basics, in the same session without compacting etc etc
