Stop Re-Explaining Your Project to Claude Code

Every Claude Code session starts from 5 to 15 minutes of context establishment. You close the window and the context is lost, and you do the same work again next time. I set up three things to fix this: a session file that survives across conversations, a dashboard that gives you live project state instead of stale CLAUDE.md, and a handoff prompt that transfers exactly what matters to a fresh session.
