I never use Opus etc after 50% token usage (and from reading other devs blogs and on Twitter it seems this is a comment sentiment) because it falls off an intelligence cliff at that point.

I mean, I really, really see intelligence tank at a certain amount of context usage. I always start a new session when any implementation work is starting or when starting a new plan.

So I clean context before writing a plan, I clean context before any implementation of a plan. My first prompt is always putting enough of my own context, copy and pastes of docs, etc, to ensure the plan creation is good. Once the plan is made I clean the context and get Opus to implement said plan.

Out of all the methodologies I've tried, this seems to be the best in terms of output quality.
