Token Efficiency
delphine-l/claude_globalEvery token you save cuts costs and speeds up your work. This guide helps you use Claude Code efficiently without wasting tokens. You choose the right model for each task and run bash commands instead of reading files. Sonnet works best for daily coding. Opus helps with deep understanding. Following these rules saves about half your token spend.
The guide also clears up a common worry. Having many skills in your project does not waste tokens. Skills only load when needed. The real waste comes from reading large files or using verbose output. Always prefer grep, tail, or sed over reading full files. These simple steps keep your costs low and your work fast.
