Starting new sessions frequently and using separate new sessions for small tasks is a good practice.
Keeping context clean and focused is a highly effective way to keep the agent on task. Having an up to date AGENTS.md should allow for new sessions to get into simple tasks quickly so you can use single-purpose sessions for small tasks without carrying the baggage of a long past context into them.
