> Extracting the most useful parts of documentation into a file

Yes, and this file becomes: also documentation. I didn’t mean throw entire unabridged docs at it, I should’ve been more clear. All of my docs for agents are written by agents themselves. Either way once the project becomes sufficiently complex it’s just not going to be feasible to add a useful level of detail of every part of it into context by default, the context window will remain fixed as your project grows. You will have to deal with this limit eventually.

I DO include a broad overview of the project in Agents or Claude.md by default, but have supplemental docs I point the agent to when they’re working on a particular aspect of the project.

> sufficiently complex

Sounds like we are working on different types of projects. I avoid complexity at almost all cost and ruthlessly minimise LoC and infrastructure. I realise that's a privilege, and many programmers can't.
