This is overkill. I know because I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum: each of my chat sessions goes on for days. The main reason I start over is because Cursor slows down and starts to stutter after a while, which gets annoying.

Claude auto-condenses context, which is both good/bad. Good in that it doesn't usually get super slow, bad in that sometimes it does this in the middle of a todo and then ends up (I suspect) producing something less on-task as a result.

Since reading I can --continue I do the same. If I find it's missing something after compressing context I'll just make it re-read a plan or CLAUDE.md

That’s a solid approach and one I hadn’t thought of myself. Thank you!

Cursor when not in "MAX" mode does its own silent context pruning in the background.
