Original Reddit post

Has anyone else come across a situation where Claude will try and read something from earlier in a session BEFORE any compaction occurs and state something like this: Some files haven’t been read in this conversation context. Let me re-read them, then edit. Wait, I DID read all those files earlier. But the tool is saying they haven’t been read. This might be because the context was compressed. Let me re-read them. I’m seeing this a few times on files that are read, and no longer fully accessible. For some reason I thought all read files were available until you compacted, but this thinking comment suggests otherwise. submitted by /u/sbuswell
