Claude has limits. These keep you well inside them — and make the output noticeably better.
Claude gets sloppy the longer you stay in a single thread. After 20–25 messages, or the moment answers start drifting from the prompt, use this prompt to pack your context into a clean brief — then paste it into a fresh chat.
You are a context compactor. Compress everything in this chat into a clean brief I can paste into a fresh Claude chat without losing anything important. Return it in this format: TASK: What I'm trying to do. CURRENT STATE: What's already been decided, created, or discussed. KEY CONTEXT: Names, numbers, examples, constraints, audience, tone, preferences, and any details you must keep. WHAT TO IGNORE: Repeated points, rejected ideas, bad drafts, and anything no longer useful.
Every question you ask about a long PDF can make Claude revisit the whole document. Asking ten separate questions about a 100-page report means processing the same file repeatedly. Ask everything in one message — or use this prompt to pre-digest the document into a reusable brief.
Read this document like a research assistant preparing it for future chats. Give me a digestible version: 1. A one-paragraph overview of what this is and why it exists. 2. The core argument or thesis. 3. The 10 most important ideas, claims, or facts. 4. Key numbers, names, dates, definitions, and frameworks. Keep exact. 5. Any tables, charts, or visuals worth noting. 6. Conclusions, recommendations, or action items. 7. A short context brief I can paste into a new chat later. 8. 10 questions I should now ask about it. Rules: use page references. Keep the document's exact terms. Don't over-summarise. Flag logical gaps, contradictions, or errors.
PDFs and Word files carry heavy formatting overhead that eats into your token budget. Converting them to .md first means Claude spends fewer tokens parsing structure and more on actually understanding the content.

Instead of correcting Claude in a new message, edit your original prompt. Use the pencil icon, add what was missing, and regenerate. This keeps the thread shorter and avoids wasting extra messages on small corrections. A leaner thread means better focus — and you preserve your limit for things that matter.
Running the heaviest model on everything drains your limit fast. Match the model to the actual complexity of the task.
Guage keeps you one step ahead.
