I do this quite often, but I also instruct Claude to limit its output to 2-3 sentences or paragraphs, depending on the context. Also "Write this for a team of software developers / MBA's" goes a long way too.

I also do the extra step of eliminating things that are not needed, or we review this during backlog refinement.
