Re:Claude Code sessions erase after 30 days by default on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @11:05AM (#48571537)
I've been using Claude Code heavily since January. I recently used the `ccusage` utility to measure my usage and noticed a drop after 30 days. It turns out that, by default, Claude Code erases your sessions after 30 days. You can fix this by bumping `cleanupPeriodDays` to a big number like 999999999 in your `config.json`.

Purely empirical

4.7 one-shot rate is at least 20-30% higher for me

Thanks, Simon, for the post. I love the idea of compound engineering, will try that out.

I recently wrote an agent skill that helps coding agents produce better code: https://inmimo.me/blog/tighten/

TLDR: declarative style, locality of reference, and comparisons to Anthropic’s code-simplifier plugin. Would love to get your feedback!

Show HN: Tighten skill to read AI-generated code faster

https://github.com/markrogersjr/skills/blob/main/skills/tighten/SKILL.md

After repeatedly asking Claude Code to rewrite things in my coding style, I decided to write a skill to do it automatically. Articulating my coding style made me realize that beyond aesthetics, it actually serves an important function: it minimizes the distance between variable references, which means I read code much faster. This is especially useful in the new era of agentic engineering,...

I’d recommend starting with the appendix of the original hippo paper.

I wonder what the effect of the key rows not being offset is on the UX.
Thanks so much for the kinds words! Wow, I'm also amazed, didn't know Mot Juste could also refine non-prose and retain the original format of a poem.
Thanks for the comment. I agree that the original is worth reading as it gives an exclusive insight into the impact of open-source LLMs. I chose this article to showcase Mot Juste’s copy-editing capabilities because I figured most readers on HN have read the original and would have a solid reference point.

Nice metaphor combo!

Hi beardyw, thanks for the feedback and for reading the piece. As I tried to communicate in the blog post, Mot Juste is not intended for rewriting your work but rather to retrieve specific words and idioms, and I specifically chose that sample sentence to illustrate this point. Rather than copy-paste Mot Juste's output, I select the idiom "cobble together". I encourage you to give Mot Juste a try the next time you write!

Merci beaucoup!
