One thing I prefer about Cursor is that it stores and manages the long prompts I enter. I abandoned Claude Code after I typed in a long paragraph of prompt then accidentally hit an arrow key and lost all my prompt-writing work. Prompts are valuable, and Cursor treats them as valuable, whereas Claude Code seems to expect throw-away one-liners.
Has this been fixed? Does the vscode Claude Code plugin retain prompts more reliably?
I use Claude Desktop to write the plan (the prompt) and then tell Claude Code to read that file to do heavy lifting. If I'm working on several projects at once, I open multiple WSL based Claudes. In Claude Desktop, I have several tools I've vibed which manage context and notes for the projects: https://github.com/kordless/gnosis-evolve
I did try to get Claude Desktop to send comms to Claude Code, but got stuck on a few things related to the terminal emulation in Windows.
I have session list, load, and save tools. If a character is embodied that is working on a project, that goes in the session information and the character is loaded (embodied) when you start a new session. Making characters is done with the character generator tool, which strongly randomizes traits. Traits can related to ability (or inability) to run tools. Why have a personality in the AI? Because it keeps it fun and changes the tone of the code commenting and planning. And it affects tool runs...

There are notes on projects (folders) and any files it created for planning usually goes in /notes in the folder.
Claude Code does have some ability to save sessions, but I don't edit it much myself. That would be a better job for Claude Desktop.
