Has anyone found a efficient way to avoid repeating the initial codebase assessment when working with large projects?

There are several projects on GitHub that attempt to tackle context and memory limitations, but I haven’t found one that consistently works well in practice.

My current workaround is to maintain a set of Markdown files, each covering a specific subsystem or area of the application. Depending on the task, I provide only the relevant documents to Claude Code to limit the context scope. It works reasonably well, but it still feels like a manual and fragile solution. I’m interested in more robust strategies for persistent project context or structured codebase understanding.
