Claude CodeClaude Code tends to go from super genius to a complete idiot in the middle of a coding session without you realizing it. It’s not a coder’s fault. It’s the specific way LLMs are built. When you fire up Claude from your terminal, it starts with a blank slate. It has no knowledge of your project or your session. The way it learns about your project is through context. The more the context window fills up, the more Claude becomes ridiculously dumb. This becomes a real issue when you’re coding. You might write something, and a few minutes later, Claude has already forgotten it, leading to duplicate code, broken logic, and messy projects. So the solution is to actively manage the context window.
So what you need to do is to optimize Claude Code workflows by managing context windows to prevent performance drops during long sessions. And while you’re at it, you can install superpowers and a sequential thinking MCP server. We will iterate on these later in this tutorial. You will discover essential plugins and specialized tools designed to streamline coding processes and enhance productivity.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through improving Claude’s context window, installing superpowers, improving thinking skills, and installing a context7 MCP server to help Claude remember your prompts and build your project the way you want.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to:
Install statusline to improve context
Install superpowers
Improve thinking skills through sequential thinking
Install context7 MCP server
Let’s dive in!
