Maintain agent context across task switches by implementing a hierarchical context model with rules files, per-feature specs, and selective source loading. This approach preserves consistent context during multi-file feature work and session starts, reducing hallucinations.

Avoid flooding the context window by using selective spec loading to load only relevant spec sections and architecture docs per feature. This approach uses hierarchical context packing patterns to manage large contexts and prevent overload.

Set up persistent project rules by creating a rules file like CLAUDE.md to provide project-wide context. These rules files load at startup to maintain consistent agent context across sessions and tasks.

Yes, selective source loading loads only the most relevant source files for the current task. This technique keeps agent context focused and avoids flooding the context window with unnecessary information.

Use hierarchical context packing patterns during multi-file feature work when managing large contexts. This technique uses hierarchical summaries to organize context and avoid flooding the agent with excessive information.
