Stop letting Claude burn your subscription: a 10x token-saving workflow
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-09-03
The author shares a checklist that cut Claude Code token waste by 10x by fixing three waste sources: models verifying themselves in elaborate ways, building process instead of doing the task, and humans re-explaining context. Key tactics: define a strict role split (Claude diagnoses and writes instructions, a separate agent edits, human deploys), define the unit of work as edit-deploy-look, and write context down once instead of re-explaining it.
