How to reduce token usage in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor

I analyzed 1,674 agent sessions to reduce token usage in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. 10 rules and a hook fixed most of it.

iPhone Duo is a completely new device with variable screen size. We have a set of new APIs to understand the screen size of the iPhone, but the fundamental API for recognizing available screen space is still size classes. swiftwithmajid.com/2022/08/1…

Anyone else experiencing crashes on iOS 27 beta when instantiating CABTMIDICentralViewController in SwiftUI with a UIViewRepresentable? Frustrating to have these crashers so late in the game. In the end, I let Claude Agent roll our own solution, which works great on 26 and 27.

Let's GO MIDI 1.2 has launched in the App Store! The key feature for this release is InstaTone! ✨ Let's GO MIDI randomly selects from over 1200 tones on your @RolandGlobal GO:KEYS 3/5 and automatically sends the patch change. It makes sound discovery fun! 🤩 #Roland #GoKeys

Let's Go MIDI passed review today and officially launched! 🎉 🎹 It's a Tone/Patch librarian for the Roland GO:KEYS 3 & 5 keyboards, and hopefully this will help make organizing patches (especially for live play) fun again! 😄 #Roland #GoKeys apps.apple.com/us/app/lets-g…

The site experienced a domain renewal opportunity (my fault, I didn't check to see the payment method for auto-renew was current). It should be back online as soon as the renewal propagates, hopefully within a few minutes.

Hey! Let's Go MIDI is finally in review! 🎉 That said, I expect it to be rejected on the first time around, and that's OK. I’m ready for it, because the app has a hardware dependency. So we'll see. Cautiously optimistic. 😊 #AppStoreConnect #LetsGoMIDI #Roland #GoKeys

Fun fact: almost all of Kickstart is exposed as an MCP, so you can connect Claude, Codex, Gemini, etc. Yes, you can have your agent generate whole marketing videos for you, with stock media, AI narration, 3D device models, and more, all through the MCP! kickstart.tools/mcp

MCP documentation for Kickstart - connect AI tools to project data and video automation.

Congrats to @twostraws on Kickstart's launch! An instant subscribe. I've been trying to tune my side project(s) and just used the price parity tooling to revise my IAP pricing on 144 territories with a click.
