Managing Long-Running Tasks
Effective resource management requires strategic session planning. See Best Practices: Context for detailed guidance on breaking tasks into chunks, monitoring performance, and context window optimization (200K vs 1M tokens). Quick Tips:- Use Plan Mode for complex changes to understand scope before execution
- Start fresh sessions between major tasks to reset context and tool approvals
- Complete atomic work units (feature → test → commit), then start fresh sessions
- Watch for slower responses or less accurate outputs as sessions grow longer
