Are you guys just eating the API costs / hitting the Claude Pro limits every time you need to scan a massive codebase? I recently hooked up Gemini CLI to Claude Code using MCP (Model Context Protocol), and it has saved me so much money. Basically, I let Claude handle the context, but whenever it needs to do a massive “read” or search for project-wide patterns, it delegates the search to Gemini CLI running in headless mode. Gemini churns through the massive token counts, and passes the summary back to Claude. Claude then writes the actual code. If you are just typing claude into your terminal and letting it raw-dog your entire 500-file project folder, you are wasting so many tokens. Bring Gemini in as the researcher! submitted by /u/netcommah
