The problem is that every time you run your full automation with linting and tests, you’re filling up the context window more and more. I don’t know how people using Claude do it with its <300k context window. I get the “your message will exceed the length of this chat” message so many times.

I don't know exactly how Claude works, but the way I work around this with my own stuff is prompting it to not display full outputs ever, and instead temporary redirect the output somewhere then grep from the log-file what it's looking for. So a test run outputting 10K lines of test output and one failure is easily found without polluting the context with 10K lines.

Claude's approach is currently a bit dated.

Cursor.sh agents or especially OpenAI Codex illustrate that a tool doesn't need to keep on stuffing context window with irrelevant information in order to make progress on a task.

And if really needed, engineers report that Gemini Pro 2.5 keeps on working fine within 200k-500k token context. Above that - it is better to reset the context.

I started to use sub agents for that. That does not pollute the context as much
