Context management is an underrated habit
How you manage context in a Claude Code session has a direct effect on both your token bill and the quality of what you get back. Do it well and you spend less for better work. An efficient session gives Claude the context it needs to finish the job while removing context that has stopped being useful. That means starting with a lean setup, keeping investigations focused, and deliberately deciding when to continue, compact, or start again. Here are the context management techniques we use on the

That said, they were not written for other people in the first place. They were written so I could learn Tachyon myself, and the reason I wanted...
