A developer shares five practical habits for maximizing the utility of Claude Code, emphasizing techniques that require no additional cost or plugins. These habits include immediately naming sessions for better organization, using the CLAUDE.md file as a dynamic correction log rather than a static specification, and understanding the distinct functions of the \/continue and \/resume commands. The author also advises exporting significant decisions from sessions into markdown files for documentation and suggests a strategy of separating session memory from retrieval mechanisms, even developing a custom tool called 'shelf' to aid in browsing past sessions for improved retrieval.
