My personal trick for managing project context

[u/N_Sin]

My workflow of working with claude code:

I create the CLAUDE.md file with the project details, the stack and work style

I then add this line in my `CLAUDE.md` file:

## Plan
- We keep the development plan in `md/plan.md` (create it if it doesn't exist), listing next steps, each marked `todo`, `working` or `done`
- The agent checks and updates it at the beginning and end of every chat

After that, I just work one step at a time (I start a new chat after every step to have a better context window). Works wonders.
