Using Claude Code: session management and 1M context

Very good tips for anyone working with bigger tasks. Since memory management for LLMs is still kind of an unsolved problem (yes we have RAGs etc. but they are just a crutch right now) to get the best results you still need to know how to manage context yourself.

One thing I like to do for larger tasks is to first create a separate document and then prompt using the document, usually new session for each task. AI is good at slicing the task for itself and as a human in the loop its easier to understand the steps its performing and what is happening.

There are probably a million ready made solutions already but manual labour for context management still seems to get the best results for me personally.
