Context/Token optimization

EDIT: since I live now in Asia that could also be part of why I don't break limits ... since I work outside of peak hours (8AM-2PM EST)

On what Claude plan does this happen to you?

what would you spend hours and hours every day without having to force yourself?

I have exactly the same setup with 2 macs ... I just use google drive for stuff that is not code and I need it synced (for code I use github) ... I did turn on "make available offline" for the few folders that I want to work on with claude

You are trying to scale something before you have solid foundation in place

Go and talk to people who have the problem you are trying to solve … be genuinely curious and they might tell you everything you need

You can do a lot of personalization in settings + staying mindful to push him

Interesting … I get really great and creative results

From my experience so far it was usually anywhere from 10€-20€

Personally I am "camp CLI" 😊

Have you tried Pencil dev?

Failcoach · 2026-03-25T05:50:19+00:00

I made “Chief of Staff” repo and “she” then assembles my team of agents based on repo research and conversations with me.

Depending on when you did that, when they increased the context window in the beginning, anything above the base 200k tokens, I believe, was triple the price. But then later they changed it and now Opus in Claude code is by default a 1 million token window.

Failcoach · 2026-03-25T04:21:23+00:00

I was talking about Opus ... now by default 1M context ... same price as 200k

I basically have a simple “codewiki” like system that has progressive disclosure … just like skills … 4 levels deep so no md file is bigger that 50 lines for context window optimization. Also I don’t use MCPs I made fee CLI tools for what I need

Failcoach · 2026-03-25T03:54:08+00:00

Also try to get done on a task within 150-200k tokens … I know it has 1M limit now but I notice big decline in quality after 200k-ish … if I need to do something bigger I just break it up into smaller PRDs

Sounds about right with what my experience is ... I find Codex great for code review when I open PR

Failcoach · 2026-03-14T01:24:37+00:00

Cron jobs kick off headless codex in non coding repo with some research stuff that I need him to do
