I think thats a bad idea. It seems like expecting to have a prompt open like this, accumulating context puts a load on the back end. Its one of those things that is a bad habit. Like trying to maintain open tabs in a browser as a way to keep your work flow up to date when what you really should be doing is taking notes of your process and working from there.

I have project folders/files and memory stored for each session, when I come back to my projects the context is drawn from the memory files and the status that were saved in my project md files.

Create a better workflow for your self and your teams and do it the right way. Quick expect the prompt to store everything for you.

For the Claude team. If you havent already, I'd recommend you create some best practices for people that don't know any better, otherwise people are going to expect things to be a certain way and its going to cause a lot of friction when people cant do what the expect to be able to do.

Agents making forward progress hours apart is an expected pattern and inference engines are being adapted to serve that purpose well.

It’s hard to do it without killing performance and requires engineering in the DC to have fast access to SSDs etc.
