Claude Projects look useful when you keep coming back to the same work, because the project can hold its own chat history and knowledge base. That does not mean every chat inside it has infinite memory, so I would still keep long jobs split into clean stages.

Normal Claude is fine for one off questions

The risk is overloading a project and blaming Claude
