When a Claude conversation gets long, I sometimes need to refer back to a small decision made much earlier—an agreed naming convention, a constraint, or a detail from the original brief. I’m not sure whether missed details are caused by the conversation length or by how I’m asking.

For people using long Claude conversations, have you found a practical point where it’s better to start a fresh chat and bring over a short recap? I’m curious how you keep earlier requirements available without repeatedly pasting the entire discussion.
