> They really need to figure out a way to delete or "forget" prior context, so the user or even the model can go back and prune poisonous tokens.

In Claude Code you can use /clear to clear context, or /compact <optional message> to compact it down, with the message guiding what stays and what goes. It's helpful.

Also in Claude Code you can just press <esc> a bunch of times and you can backtrack to an earlier point in the history before the context was poisoned, and re-start from there.

Claude has some amazing features like this that aren’t very well documented. Yesterday I just learned it writes sessions to disk and you can resume them where you left off with -continue or - resume if you accidentally close or something.

Thank you! This just saved me after closing laptop and losing a chat in VS Code. Cool feature and always a place where Clause Code UX was behind chat - being able to see history. "/continue" saved me ~15 minutes of re-establishing the planning for a new feature.

Also loving the shift + tab (twice) to enter plan mode. Just adding here in case it helps anyone else.

Claude code should really document this stuff in some kind of tutorial. There’s too much about code that I need to learn from random messages on the internet.

Yeah, it seems like they stealth ship a lot. Which is cool, but can sometimes lead to a future that's unevenly distributed, if you catch my drift.
