Context Mastery & Token Optimization Protocol

1. The "Grep-First" Rule (Token Saver)

  • Problem: read_file on a 2000-line file consumes ~500-1000 tokens instantly.
  • Solution: Always use grep or read_file_range first to inspect specific functions or imports.
  • Banned: cat or read_file on entire directories or massive files (e.g., package-lock.json, giant logs) unless absolutely necessary.

2. Incremental Summarization

  • Trigger: When the conversation exceeds ~20 turns or you feel the context window filling.
  • Action:
    1. Summarize what has been achieved in the last 10 turns.
    2. Write it to scratchpad.md or active_task.md.
    3. Explicitly state "I am clearing internal context of validated steps" (if tool allows) or just rely on the scratchpad for future lookup.

3. Focused Context Loading

  • Don't: "Read all files in src/ to understand the project." (Too expensive).
  • Do:
    1. Read CLAUDE.md / README.md.
    2. Read directory listing ls -R.
    3. Selectively read only the interfaces (types.ts) or entry points (index.ts) related to the current task.

4. Context Efficiency Checklist

  • Did I use grep instead of reading the whole file?
  • Did I check if I already have this info in MEMORY.md?
  • Is my next prompt efficient? (Avoid repeating massive code blocks back to the user).
