> I think thats a bad idea. It seems like expecting to have a prompt open like this, accumulating context puts a load on the back end
Let's see what Boris Cherny himself and other Anthropic vibe-coders say about this:

Opus 4.7 loves doing complex, long-running tasks like deep research, refactoring code, building complex features, iterating until it hits a performance benchmark.

For very long-running tasks, I will either (a) prompt Claude to verify its work with a background agent when it's done... so Claude can cook without being blocked on me.

Opus 4.6 is incredibly reliable at long running tasks

The long context window means fewer compactions and longer-running sessions. I've found myself starting new sessions much less frequently with 1 million context.

I used to be a religious /clear user, but doing much less now, imo 4.6 is quite good across long context windows

I could go on
