my claude code statusbar setup:
project | branch | context health (60%)
✓ staged | ✎ unstaged | + new
took the icons from the /context command, kept the colour scheme.
reply if you want the config
@chern0CS@iamsahaj_xyz i heard the 1m context was ultimately a hack, so always clear context for Claude
Codex cooks different though, doesn’t seem to matter there
Honestly, I don't know how the Codex guys do it, compaction feels irrelevant
I've had a single planning chat going for a week with no obvious quality drop
It's to the point where I forget to start a fresh chat for each new task
worth pointing out that this style of infinite asking only happens in codex as it takes the instructions very literally
it’s not spec driven development repackaged, it’s something much closer to how i’d actually work as an engineer
matt has managed to distill many books that have shaped my career and /improve-codebase-architecture in particular stands out as a breakthrough moment that made large layers of code get close to what i wanted
i highly rate /grill-me and /grill-me-with-docs is even better
