Context window mismanagement is the number one productivity killer in Claude Code. This guide shows you how to recognize context degradation, why it happens around 70-75% capacity, and the exact strategies top engineers use to maintain peak Claude Code performance throughout long coding sessions.

After using Claude Code extensively across dozens of projects, I've refined a workflow that maximizes autonomy while maintaining control over critical decisions. The /task command represents years of iteration—a structure that consistently delivers better results than ad-hoc prompting or even the built-in questionnaire system introduced in Claude Code 2.0.25+.

I've been using the official schema from Anthropic for Claude Code settings, but one thing was missing: autocomplete for environment variables. So I built an improved schema with 50+ env vars, inline documentation, and full IntelliSense support. Plus, I'm launching a new 'Extras' section for downloadable productivity tools.

Claude Code, the terminal-native, agentic coding assistant, gets exponentially more useful when you give it a concise project guide (CLAUDE.md), set sensible permissions & environment via settings.json, and automate routine actions with slash-command files. This guide packs all three into copy-ready snippets: stack-specific CLAUDE.md templates, a JIRA-driven custom workflow, permission hygiene tips, and a reflection command that continuously sharpens your guide.
