If you’re coding with AI and running into hallucinations and weird outputs, it’s probably because your context window is full and compacting. This can often be solved with a quality handoff prompt. I dealt with this for a while before I figured out the right formula for a handoff prompt. Clear your context early. Before things get bad. And write a solid handoff prompt so the fresh session picks up right where you left off. But it’s not just a matter of saying, “Hey Claude, build me a detailed handoff prompt.” There is a structure that will help you write killer handoff prompts that clear your context window, and then restart a new session fresh picking up right where you left off. I shot a video on this because I see a lot of people struggling with it. I also put the prompt(s) up for free if you want to just grab it and go. And if you want, I created a prompt to have CC create a slash command so you never have to copy and paste the handoff prompt again. The prompt will tell your agent to create a properly structured handoff document to give a true representation of your project, but most importantly emphasize the information that’s truly important/relevant.
