To add to this: I also have a skill called something like “prepare for handoff “. It’s designed to help with context management.
Whenever I finish a task — or the context starts running out for a big task — I tell Claude to “prepare for handoff (with whatever)”. It basically creates or adds to a HANDOFF.md doc and writes up a handoff mini prompt in the CLI. Then I clear context and start fresh with a new task or continue the last task that was running low on context.
Anecdotally, Claude Code seems to go off the rails less when I aggressively manage context this way.
