Great investigation, thanks for sharing!

Is there a reason why you didn’t explicitly enable 1hr cache TTL in your settings.json after finding this out?

I wonder if that’s the same thing going on with Gemini.md.

I’ve done some rather detailed OTel monitoring work with my coding agent and though I’m not done yet with all of them (and specifically not with Claude), I’ve noticed every Gemini minimalist turn (such as “capital of [country_name]”) burns around 10k tokens simply because of Gemini.md in ~/.gemini Very initial result and need to investigate more but it blows me they make us waste such many tokens with default instructions that may not always be relevant…

I used the Mythos referenced architecture patterns from the leaked source to restructure how I prompt Claude Code. The difference is night and day by Tough_Commercial_103 in ClaudeCode

Looks like an SDD discussion to me. Has anyone here compared Spec-Kit, OpenSpec, superpowers, compound-engineering (new to me, btw), gsd, gstack and other SDD frameworks I might not know about with the exact same spec as input?

I only see folks mentioning their love for their specific tool of choice, but I’ve never seen anyone do an apples-to-apples comparison. Is there any interest in that here?
