How much time do you spend repeating context in Claude?
by•
Curious if this is just me or other devs face it too. I use Jira and GitHub MCPs inside claude code to fetch my tickets and complete them as autonomously as possible.
But it always keeps messing up finding the correct repos, branching properly or delivering a PR without CI failing. And I end up repeating instructions and copy-pasting CI errors and asking to fix it. I tracked this and I spent on avg 75mins a day repeating context and instructions.
Anyone also facing this or found a way around it?

the ci half of that 75 minutes is the part i managed to actually kill. instead of pasting failures in, i gave the agent the command to pull the failing job log itself, gh run view --log-failed, plus permission to run it, so it iterates without me sitting there as the clipboard. the repo and branch half i fixed differently. i stopped explaining and removed the choice, so the rules live in a file it reads at session start and the branch name is derived from the ticket id, and theres nothing left for it to infer. what was left after that was mostly me re-explaining decisions it should never have been making.
