Okay, so you’ve had a decent session with Opus or Fable. You’re done with the tasks you set out to do in that session, and it’s sitting there with a decent amount of cached context about a certain subject/system/whatever you’re working on. Can you leverage that? “Warm Context”: Things that Claude has read, looked up, thought about, etc. Its “RAM”, if you will. Ask Claude: “Any quick wins we can do with our warm context?” “What can we do [from our task list] with our warm context?” Claude should come back with a list of tasks or things that it can do with zero additional context (only cache reads) or minimal additional input. Bonus Tip / Ongoing Benefit: Ask Claude to store feedback to heavily bias ‘What’s next’ suggestions to items/open tasks that require warm context. Here’s a sample feedback memory for Claude: (Keep in mind: Claude will create something like this if asked by itself, but giving it a sample with a specific reason makes it much more likely to follow the rule) — name: feedback_warm_context_raises_priority description: Open items with warm context in the current session get bumped in priority – do them now rather than defer to a cold session — When something is still pending/open in a session and the context for it is WARM (already read, diagnosed, or half-built), raise its priority: do it now, or offer to, rather than filing it for a later session. Why: “There’s no sense wasting good, warm context vs having to read it again and/or re-derive in a different session.” Re-deriving costs tokens and risks a colder, shallower answer. How to apply: At each wrap-up or “what’s next” point, sort open items by warmth as well as importance; a found-but-not-fixed regression from this session should be proposed as the next step, not merely listed. Still respect budget limits and owner-deferred items. Edit : Updated intro statement and second “Ask Claude” to make it more obvious that this is a wrap-up: ‘Hey, can we knock out anything for (nearly) free using (mostly) cache?’ submitted by /u/Shadyman
