4 Claude Code token-saving tricks nobody talks about
Before blaming Claude Code's limits, try fixing the way you're using it.
Some users of Claude Code, an AI coding tool, have found ways to make the most of its usage limits. One approach is to make small changes to workflow to extend the usage period without slowing down or complicating coding.
A user has created a persistent context system for Claude Code using Obsidian, a note-taking app, to provide the AI with context from previous work. This setup uses an Obsidian vault to store journal entries, unfinished tasks, commands, skills, and scripts, allowing Claude Code to recover previous context and continue from where the user left off.
Another user has utilized Claude Code to analyze a chess game, generating a post-mortem with plain-language explanations of mistakes, checked against Stockfish, and a narrated video of the game. This was achieved by providing Claude Code with a link to the game and an audio recording of the user's thought process during the game.
