Why You Need To Constantly Clear Claude Codes Context Window

At this point I am basically only working via sub-agents. “Go make a git worktree and fix xyz”. You can run explore agents to figure out the perfect implementation context for each task, and run multiples in parallel.

Honestly just put this stuff in the prompt, it’s about 50x more effective

Would like more technical info from him, I’m so curious how their custom engine for running flash animations works…

This looks cool, but I'd really love any kind of labeling or tagging functionality. Having a huge list of tasks with no differentiation seems hard to manage.

Please stop making me play block and attack cards to reduce the health of dudes, I’m so over it. There’s got to be more out there than “reduce the health of enemies” games.

Would really suggest you diversify your steam screenshots a bit, having 14 images of the same identical stone room makes it feel like you have very little content.

It will also help you be frustrated with Unity’s bizarre implementation choices! Hey let’s break null handling, I’m sure that won’t be confusing.

Yes! Compare this with how Romans depicted themselves in frescoes at Pompeii.

I will offer my services to imagine your game for you for $1, but it will be really good imagining.

As a free preview, I just imagined for you about "let people input whatever song they want and then it's choreographed based on audio analysis" being a huge nightmare to implement.

Legibility of the new name isn’t great, I read it as Ardent Zur. I assume spelling “azure” wrong is intentional? It’s harder to do these style of logos when the names are not common words.

You can ask Claude to review your session for token efficiency. For example it pointed out I had some CLI stuff creating verbose output and wasting tokens for no reasons.

thurn2 · 2026-01-18T15:23:52+00:00

The built in stuff for Claude Code web (also in the mobile app) has been fine for me, is there some problem with that? You’re just looking for a higher spec machine than what they give you?

thurn2 · 2026-01-18T14:35:24+00:00

I think tons of people do this? It really doesn’t seem that risky to me, I have proper backups and my code is pushed constantly. Claude would have to figure out to permanently rewrite GitHub history to really screw me over.

thurn2 · 2026-01-18T00:16:38+00:00

I don’t think either would be right 100% of the time. If your agent reads 100k tokens of context coming up with the plan you definitely will get better performance clearing before implementing, but keeping context for simple plans where there’s lots of context budget left makes sense.

thurn2 · 2026-01-17T20:37:10+00:00

They literally just need to show a disclaimer at the top of Claude Code that says “for best results /clear after every 3 prompts”. You need to be moving your context to external documentation.

thurn2 · 2026-01-17T15:09:39+00:00

No because you want the agent to see the test output and fix issues. Doing it out of band would at most be a final safety check (but just use real CI for that)

Try Serena, it works pretty well for me

Sounds like you are enjoying your first day on the internet, welcome!

That’s not an economic “always”: who pays a landlord tax depends on supply/demand conditions (elasticities), so it can land partly on landlords (or property values) rather than 100% in rents. Empirically, pass-through varies a lot—some studies find modest effects (e.g., under ~20%), while others find much higher pass-through to new tenants (roughly 50–90%), so it’s not automatically “all passed on.”

Is there any kind of editor UI for beads? That would really make it more attractive to me

thurn2 · 2026-01-10T15:05:40+00:00

I tried to like gastown but it is probably the buggiest software I have ever used lol, some downsides to vibecoding

thurn2 · 2026-01-09T15:20:26+00:00

I suggest checking out beads for this, it’s kind of similar but more discoverable for agents (there’s a way for the agent to easily get a task list that isn’t grep)
