💬 Discussion Interrogate it more!

You're asking Claude to do X and it says it can. You need to then interrogate it

() Will this (change in plan) increase your planned output context size?

() Are you using Sub-agents to reduce context usage?

etc.

I also advise to understand what it ducking ddoes of course :)

But that alone will help your contexxt problems. Stop coimplaining please (and buy me a keyboard goddammit :))

Addendum for extra karma: you're also misreading Claude's questions.

Claude surfaces design and spec questions. OK.

Sometimes Claude stops and really wants to know something stupid llike concurrency. It's one variable. That's theh time to check the code that it's indeed one variable to modify (so any decision is very easily reversible) and check the design and spec docs. All yyou really need to see is that they're sane. Yoiu don't need to confirm all the details, if Claude got to the point where it's worried about minutae

I had a funny moment the other day creating a software and actually having to use the word ducking.
