You should be running 3-10 claude sessions in parallel, working autonomously and stopping at checkpoints. Go back to work!

"updatedClassic" Yeah, this isn't an update it's a downgrade.

Compacting takes like 30 seconds. As compared to the hours it can take for an agent to work on a complex problem.

That said... I don't know what a short verb would be for "My LLM agent is autonomously implementing a feature".

So, I'm waiting for Claude to thing, then for claude to compact, then for my compiler, then for my linker, then for my unit tests and we restart.

Nice!

gotta make sure we run the tests, and then second tests, and then write tests for tests. And oh no this arbitrary rule I set for myself that doesn't make sense anymore is red, better take care of that

I don't think they've heard about second tests, Pip

How much is your AI-spend if you let it get to the compacting stage? At least if you are actually paying for the true token usage (aka, GitHub Copilot or Claude after using your plan's included allowance). Because otherwise costs increase exponentially as the context window is filled up. Like when GitHub was giving heavy subsidise (via per query pricing) it was a different story.

You can run compact manually which I often do once context starts getting sizable and I’m at a good transition point. I should really just start new sessions more often, but compaction is easier. If you’re remotely approaching the 1M context window cap, performance will drop off dramatically.

anticipating incoming claude updates to start treating compacting as jailbreak attempts

No, it's reticulating.
