SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audit Claude Code configuration to measure fixed-context token overhead and produce a prioritized action plan with savings estimates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quantify token overhead across CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules, MEMORY.md, and system prompts
  • Generate a concrete action plan with estimated token savings to optimize context window
  • Identify high-impact areas and provide guidance for safe, infrastructure-free optimizations

Quick Start

Run a baseline fixed-context token audit from the project root to measure usage and produce a prioritized action plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit fixed-context token overhead in Claude Code configurations?

To audit fixed-context token overhead, you can run a baseline audit from your project root to measure token usage across CLAUDE.md, rule files, memory references, and hooks. The process requires no external infrastructure and outputs a prioritized action plan.

What is fixed-context token usage in Claude Code?

Fixed-context token usage in Claude Code refers to the persistent tokens consumed by configuration files like CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules, and MEMORY.md. Quantifying this overhead reveals optimization opportunities to free up your context window.

How do I reduce token costs from CLAUDE.md and rule files?

You can reduce token costs by running an audit to identify high-impact areas across CLAUDE.md and rule files. The audit generates a concrete action plan with estimated token savings and guidance for safe, infrastructure-free optimizations.

Do I need external infrastructure to measure token overhead in Claude Code?

No external infrastructure is needed to measure token overhead in Claude Code. The audit operates directly on your configuration files to determine token costs and output actionable savings scenarios without requiring additional setup.

Can I get a prioritized action plan for Claude Code context window optimization?

You can get a prioritized action plan for context window optimization by auditing your fixed-context tokens. The audit evaluates your configuration files and provides a ranked action plan with token-savings estimates and a risk assessment.

What are the limitations of auditing Claude Code configuration for token savings?

The audit focuses solely on quantifying fixed-context overhead and providing savings estimates for configuration files. It does not automatically apply the optimizations, requiring manual execution of the action plan to realize the estimated token savings.
