Anthropic has published a guide "How to get the most out of your Claude Code sessions."
They share six tips — use /clear between tasks, choose the model and effort level in advance, reference files with @, trim excess command output using flags, check the starting context via /context, and run /compact before stepping away for a long time.
These tips work in Codex too, and in almost any coding agent.
