A user shared a technique for mitigating context window compaction issues with Claude Code by instructing the AI to maintain a separate log file of its decisions. This log, named DECISIONS.md, records non-obvious choices, rejected approaches, and the reasoning behind them. By having Claude read this file at the start of planning steps, the AI can recall past decisions even after context compaction, preventing it from reintroducing previously discarded solutions. AI
IMPACT This technique could help users maintain longer, more productive sessions with context-aware AI models by mitigating memory limitations.
RANK_REASON User-shared technique for improving AI tool functionality.
