What's Wrong?
Hey folks,
when having a longer session lets say 100k token, claude ignores rules we defined in claude.md - it slides out of context window. This is hardly annoying and should be solved.
In my cases I would prefer some settings like: "How often claude has to look into claude.md" or an "indicator telling a timestamp of the last time claude read the whole claude.md file".
For autonomous coding claude has to been forced to use a code of conduct like the claude.md file - without any excuses.
Stay tuned!
What Should Happen?
Claude has to lookup more often into claude.md and has to be forced doing it!

Steps to Reproduce
- Create claude.md "Never ever use unicode emotes in python command line output"
- Start chat into complex python session
- After 1 hour of coding let claude to some python stuff with outputs where it possible for claude "to pimp" something by itself.
- Nearly everytime I have emotes on my command line output like a damn comic book after a while.
