Composer Improvements for AI-first workflow

Hey team, wanted to start with:
Composer + Claude 3.5 sonnet is truly one of the best ways to code and will never go back (founder/cto for 5+ years). I have almost been able to transition to a composer first workflow, but there are a couple of things holding me back. Couple low hanging fruit that I think would be super helpful for me and I’m sure for others.

  1. I am able to get 3-4 chats in and then I start getting “Connection” issues. I doubt that they are actually connection issue, but more just that the context is too long because when I clear the context, it starts working again. Any way to have longer chats would be amazing, but understand this is a difficult problem (potentially fine with degradation in context)

  2. In order to save costs, I would love to be able to save “Composer Contexts” which are probably group of files (think about Claude Projects). This way when the chat is long, I can reset it and maintain the original 6-10 files that I have been working with. I think this is likely the goal from what I have seen, but currently the “Reset Composer” (Cmd+R) loses the entire context – then I have to add back the files manually.
