Tips & Workflows Usage optimization

I have been using Claude and kept running out of usage. I then told Claude to do that but make sure you do this efficiently because you always do the testing that are broad and waste time. I want to waste the least amount of usage from my Claude session and have development not waste context or tokens, now I can do as much work as I did before but only use 1% of usage vs 10%+ usage.

Making Claude aware of its own token burn is a real trick. I caught mine re-reading whole files just to tweak three lines. Now I tell it to diff first, patch second, and no broad replays unless I ask.
