What problem does it solve?

Audit Claude Code configuration to measure fixed-context token overhead and produce a prioritized action plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Measures fixed-context token overhead from global CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, and .claude/rules to identify biggest sources of overhead
  • Produces a prioritized action plan with estimated token savings and an actionable roadmap
  • Classifies .claude/rules into ALWAYS/SOMETIMES/RARELY/NEVER with guidance on auto-loading reductions

Quick Start

Run the measurement and analysis steps described in the guide to generate a token budget and an action plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I measure fixed-context token overhead in Claude Code?▼

You measure fixed-context token overhead by auditing global CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, and .claude/rules files. The audit analyzes these configurations alongside the system prompt to output a token budget and identify the largest sources of overhead.

Why does my Claude Code session feel slow and hit rate limits?▼

Claude Code sessions feel slow or hit rate limits due to excessive fixed-context token overhead from auto-loaded configurations. Auditing your CLAUDE.md files and .claude/rules helps quantify these costs and reduces unnecessary auto-loading.

How do I optimize Claude Code rules to reduce token waste?▼

To optimize Claude Code rules and reduce token waste, classify your .claude/rules into ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, RARELY, and NEVER categories. This classification guides auto-loading reductions and produces a prioritized action plan with estimated savings.

What is the best way to audit CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for token usage?▼

The best way to audit CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for token usage is to run a configuration audit that analyzes these files alongside .claude/rules. It outputs a comprehensive token budget, rules-classification table, and hook overhead measurements.

Can I get a prioritized action plan for reducing Claude Code configuration overhead?▼

Yes, you can get a prioritized action plan for reducing Claude Code configuration overhead by auditing your setup. The audit produces a concrete optimization roadmap with estimated token savings based on your specific CLAUDE.md and rules files.
