THE BIGGEST CLAUDE CODE BOTTLENECK ISN'T THE MODEL. IT'S THE TOKENS YOU WASTE. You can cut Claude Code token usage by up to 90% with 4 simple optimizations: → Index your codebase with CodeGraph → Compress logs and outputs with RTK → Reduce response verbosity with Caveman → Manage context better using /clear, /context, and model switching The catch? Every optimization comes with tradeoffs: → Code indexes can become stale → Compressed logs may hide important signals → Shorter responses can reduce context quality → Aggressive context management can remove useful history The best Claude Code users don't just optimize prompts. They optimize information flow.
