I didn't realize Claude Code can show you exactly what's eating your context

A recent discovery reveals that the Claude Code command /context provides a detailed breakdown of what is consuming the context window. This tool helps users understand why long sessions become crowded, highlighting that project instructions, tools, and other loaded contexts contribute significantly, not just the conversation history. Users can now check context usage before deciding to compact or restart a session, offering a more precise way to manage context than mere guesswork.
