How do you manage context window?

I have been experimenting with context window on Claude Code, and I have stopped using /compact and instead i document the journey well including writing in claude.md.

but sometimes there is just some context that i'd like to keep with my next sessions but i do not want to burn tokens just to keep it, so i made an MCP server that does session recap through different models, and spits back a small summary to keep things on track.

what do you guys do?
