Ive been using claude for around a year (max x5), and ive been quite heavily doing my best to optimise my token usage to get the most out of the usage limits. I use lean-ctx, RTK, Headroom, caveman and recently i relaised haddnt updated them in a while and during my mass update i broke the setup i had and my token usage shot back up to liek they were when athropic were throwing out usage compensation left right and centre. It resulted in me completley uninstalling CC and all the plugins/MCPS/CLIS etc and starting again (painful), in doing so i tried going deeper on using agents for specific tasks (i had used a handful before but because of the little tokens i was using, telling my main session to just spawn agents was more common or using the default GSD ones), but in creating my own specific agents ive been having trouble with getting them to stop using native commands and use lean-ctx commands instead, ive tried using hooks and having rules or having my claude.md file specify, but constantly they either try the native command and my hooks block them and say to use the lean counterpart but they just stop or they do the craziest work arounds ive ever seen. How is everyone enforcing agents/hooks etc and what are the best ways youve found to optimise your usage? submitted by /u/Livid_Salary_9672
