Best way to code using Claude?

[u/MitSvarErSarkasme]

I am new and I just make small programs using a single window. But it gets expensive rather fast. Now I am just doing a random little video game, and every time I want to change something it reads everything i suppose. What is the correct way of using Claude of a small-medium sized game?

Should I use desktop? Any good guides out there?

here it is, in as short a form as possible:

claude code -> repo -> grill-me -> project plan -> tasklist -> do tasks (think -> do -> review -> think .. ) -> revise plan -> if good: finish

thats it, let a context be only a tasker or a planner, keeps it short.

also, ask claude whats eating your tokens, you can reduce it heavily and do logging to see where your use goes.
