If you’ve ever had a long session with Claude Code or Cowork, you’ve probably had your context compressed before. Once that happens, Claude starts to lose track of the things you’ve already worked on.

If you pay attention to what it is doing, you’ll often see it run multiple commands trying to search for strings that turn up the correct portion of the code.
