SKILL.md

Token optimization

Two env vars

export CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE=70
export MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=16000

Patterns

  • Read with offset/limit, not whole files
  • Grep before Read
  • Compact at phase transitions
  • Don't leave prompts cold > 5min (cache TTL)
  • Separate sessions: routine vs. complex

When to raise thinking budget

Architecture, debugging, refactoring, critical review.

When to lower

File ops, lint fixes, trivial edits, lookups.
