A developer released two open-source prompt files for Claude Code: "spec," which generates a 13-section specification before coding to reduce ambiguous task guessing, and "review-audit," a read-only code audit across six axes that requires file-and-line evidence before marking any check as passed.
Anthropic's prompt caching requires explicit `cache_control: { type: "ephemeral" }` markers and charges a write premium of 1.25x (5-minute TTL) or 2x (1-hour TTL) on first requests, then 0.10x on subsequent cache hits. The 5-minute TTL breaks even at the second cache hit, yielding a 32.5% cost re...

A developer created a Claude Code `PreToolUse` hook to block the AI agent from running `git commit --no-verify`, after finding that instructions in `CLAUDE.md` only prevented the behavior about 80% of the time. The hook intercepts the tool call before execution and returns an explanation to the m...
A developer published a free tool on GitHub (claude-token-report) that analyzes Claude Code API token usage from session transcripts stored in ~/.claude/projects/, identifying patterns such as repeated file reads, oversized tool output, and cache misses as primary cost drivers.
MCP tool call arguments are generated as model output tokens, making it impossible to pass large files directly — a 1 MB HTML file requires roughly 250,000–350,000 tokens, exceeding typical model output limits. The recommended fix is to pass a file path reference to the MCP server instead of the ...
