Claude Long-Context Cheat Sheet

Exploit Claude's massive context window for documents, code, and nuanced writing.

Document Work

  • Upload whole documents; ask grounded, specific questions.
  • Ask for a structured summary: overview, key points, action items.
  • Request verbatim quotes with citations for traceability.
  • Compare multiple documents in one conversation.

Writing

  • Feed 3 samples of your voice for consistent style.
  • Ask for a tone and audience before drafting.
  • Use "show me two versions" for A/B comparison.

Coding

  • Paste whole files; ask for file-level reviews.
  • Request "explain this codebase to a new engineer".
  • Use artifacts for code you will iterate on.
