MEMORY

CLEAR SESSION

When the conversation turned into soup, reset.

Long sessions pollute the context. Claude starts remembering things that no longer matter and losing focus on what does.

/clear wipes it. Costs nothing, recovers precision.

If you caught yourself re-explaining the same thing twice in the same session, the clear was due one answer earlier.

In practice

# In the Claude prompt:
/clear

# Or the shortcut (terminal):
Esc Esc + clear

# Heuristic: re-explained the same thing
# twice in the session? The clear was due
# one answer earlier.

This practice is part of Claude Code OS, the full blueprint of the practices that separate following a tutorial from actually working with Claude. Ler em português.
