i used to be really deliberate about this. split conversations across different chats so each one stayed clean, kept context tight, a whole ritual. honestly the models got good enough that i mostly stopped. i just dump everything in one place now and it keeps up fine problem is i cant get the old habits back even where they’d help. the md files, the per package notes, the careful splitting, i let all of it rot cuz the model made me lazy and now half my claude.md is stale and lying to the agent so real question, no agenda. is there an actual automatic way to keep context managed properly across sessions, without me babysitting a doc forever, and without it just being context compacting. compacting throws away the wrong stuff half the time. i want something that actually knows what matters and holds onto it is everyone just eating the re-explain tax or is there a real agentic context engineering pattern that holds. tell me im missing something obvious submitted by /u/testerofredditagain
