Two Claude prompts that save a long chat before it breaks

Long AI chats degrade. These two prompts fix the two ways that happens.

When your chat gets long (~20–25 messages)

Run this, then paste the output into a fresh window:

Please create a comprehensive context summary of our
entire conversation so far.

Include:
- The main goal or project we are working on
- All key decisions made so far
- Important context, constraints, and preferences I have shared
- Any unresolved questions or next steps
- Any specific instructions I have given you about how to respond

Format it as a clean structured summary that I can paste into a
fresh chat to continue exactly where we left off, with zero loss
of context. Keep it as compact as possible without losing
anything important.

When your document is too big to paste

I am going to give you a document. Compress it into the most
compact version possible without losing any important information.

Rules:
- Keep all key facts, data, decisions, and insights
- Remove all filler, repetition, and fluff
- Condense examples: keep one strong example per point
- Use bullet points instead of long paragraphs
- Target 30% of the original length, keeping 100% of the value

Here is the document:
[PASTE]

Use the second one in a cheaper or free model first, then paste the compressed version into your main one. You get the same answer for a fraction of the context.
