What problem does it solve?

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

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Measures fixed-context token overhead from global CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, and .claude/rules to identify biggest sources of overhead
  • Produces a prioritized action plan with estimated token savings and an actionable roadmap
  • Classifies .claude/rules into ALWAYS/SOMETIMES/RARELY/NEVER with guidance on auto-loading reductions

Quick Start

Run the measurement and analysis steps described in the guide to generate a token budget and an action plan.

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

You measure fixed-context token overhead by auditing global CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, and .claude/rules files. The audit analyzes these configurations alongside the system prompt to output a token budget and identify the largest sources of overhead.

Why does my Claude Code session feel slow and hit rate limits?

Claude Code sessions feel slow or hit rate limits due to excessive fixed-context token overhead from auto-loaded configurations. Auditing your CLAUDE.md files and .claude/rules helps quantify these costs and reduces unnecessary auto-loading.

How do I optimize Claude Code rules to reduce token waste?

To optimize Claude Code rules and reduce token waste, classify your .claude/rules into ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, RARELY, and NEVER categories. This classification guides auto-loading reductions and produces a prioritized action plan with estimated savings.

What is the best way to audit CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for token usage?

The best way to audit CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for token usage is to run a configuration audit that analyzes these files alongside .claude/rules. It outputs a comprehensive token budget, rules-classification table, and hook overhead measurements.

Can I get a prioritized action plan for reducing Claude Code configuration overhead?

Yes, you can get a prioritized action plan for reducing Claude Code configuration overhead by auditing your setup. The audit produces a concrete optimization roadmap with estimated token savings based on your specific CLAUDE.md and rules files.
