[Claude 쓰면서 토큰 아끼려고 한 짓들] EP.2 — my precious를 지켜야 한다

에이전트를 9개로 줄이고 CLAUDE.md를 다이어트시킨 뒤, Compacting conversation...이 뜨는 간격이 눈에 띄게 길어졌다. 같은 작업을 시켜도 예전보다 한참을 더 버텼다. 뿌듯했다. ...

[Saving Tokens While Using Claude] EP.2 — My Precious Must Be Protected

After trimming down to 9 agents and putting CLAUDE.md on a diet, the intervals between Compacting conversation... messages got noticeably longer. Same tasks, but it lasted much longer than before. Felt good. Then I was watching the console after requesting a new feature. Tests ran. 30 cases, all passing. But Claude was mentioning the successful tests again. Something felt subtly off. I asked Claude. “Why are you mentioning tests that already passed?” Claude explained the concept of tools. When Claude executes a terminal command or reads a file, those are all “tool calls.” And every time a tool runs, its entire output stacks into the conversation context. npm test results — 30 lines.

[Saving Tokens While Using Claude] EP.1 — Hit the Limit in Three Hours

A friend asked me to build an e-commerce site for cosmetics. I’d been writing nothing but C at work, so this was a chance to try a new stack. Toss Payments for checkout, React for the frontend. “Every next-gen finance project is going React” — that comment stuck with me, and Toss Payments was Node-friendly. The direction came together quickly. Obviously, I’d never used this stack before. I wanted to learn it, but the deadline didn’t allow for “study first, build later.” So I gave vibe coding a shot. ...
