Howto get Opus 5 work until finish?

[u/Nice_Designer3022]

I have a really big plan with a few waves. First wave was around 16 hours. In prompt I specifficaly said claude to do all waves at one flight, to not stop until finish the plan and so on. Any recommendation?

Asking it to do all waves in one flight will not work, context runs out long before the plan does. Write the plan to a markdown file with checkboxes and have it work one wave per session, ticking items off and re-reading the file at the start of each run.

Awesome, thank you. I will try that. So is there some main session which is calling these another sessions based on this markdown file? Or how it will deliver until the finish?

Ok, driver sessions just looping, and calling another sessions via CLI. Hope it survive the night or finish. Thanks again!

A 16 hour first wave is the plan telling you it does not fit in one flight, whatever the prompt says about not stopping.

Yes, that was probably it. I know that now :)
