RyanMorrisonJer · x · 2026-09-18
A user shares a practical tip for Claude with Cowork and Chat in a single session: compression inevitably loses context, but you can set a custom instruction telling Claude to save state to a project file every X messages or at every key event. Since key information is already on disk, compression no longer causes any real issue — you can always recover your working state.
