Interesting. I know people do this manually. But are there agentic coding tools that actually automate this approach?

Claude Code has /init and /compact that do this. It doesn’t recreate the context as-is, but creates a context that is presumed to be functionally equivalent. I find that’s not the case and that building up from very little stored context and a lot of specialised dialogue works better.

I've seen this behavior with Cursor, Windsurf, and Amazon Q. It normally only does it for very large requests from what I've seen.
