token-efficiency

What problem does it solve?

Token-efficiency minimizes token usage in Claude Code sessions by providing a structured approach to model selection, data access, and command usage that preserves answer quality while reducing cost.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Model selection guidance: Choose Opus for learning and Sonnet for routine tasks to optimize token usage.
• Command discipline: Prefer bash commands over Read/Edit/Write to avoid overhead.
• Context-aware reading: Read only necessary parts of files and use filtering to minimize data loaded.
• Use Case: When reviewing a large repository, switch to targeted reads and minimal outputs to summarize progress without dumping entire files.

Quick Start

Use the token-efficiency skill during a code review to swap a large file read with a targeted grep and a short snippet read.
