Hi So I am coding a small program with Claude Code CLI using VS Code Terminal. Using Sonnet 4.6. I have a Claude md file in my project folder. I always have Claude web chat open in another window with Sonnet 4.6 and medium thinking time or whatever it is called (standard is low). I gave the web chat also my MD and it has lots of context and is very long by now. I use this web chat to engineer prompts. I put these prompts into a prompt.txt file that I then tell Claude Code to read (read prompt.txt and execute it). this is because long prompts can’t be copy pasted into the VS Code Terminal without being cut of. after Claude code is finished I test my program and then either create a bug fix prompt or implement the next feature. The Claude code CLI always starts with no context besides the MD file when I start it because I close it and shut off my PC but the web chat of course still has all the context from countless talking with me about the program. So my question is is this an obviously terrible way to do stuff and is there an easy improvement? I am on the pro plan so I have only limited tokens but usually I have no more drive to continue for the day before tokens run out anyway. submitted by /u/Deep_Blue_15
