Overview
claude-token-efficient is a single CLAUDE.md file you drop into a project to keep Claude's replies short. It targets habits such as opening pleasantries, closing offers of help, restating the question, unrequested suggestions and over-engineered code. It needs no code changes and aims to reduce output tokens on output-heavy workflows. The author notes that instruction files add input tokens every turn, so the file should stay short.
Key features
- One drop-in CLAUDE.md file, no code changes
- Curbs filler openings, closings and restated questions
- Discourages unrequested suggestions and over-engineering
- Rules are model-agnostic, benchmarked on Claude only
Best for
Claude Code users with output-heavy workflows who want terser answers. If the file grows too large it can cost more than it saves. Results on other models are untested.
