MAXIMIZING THE VALUE OF YOUR CLAUDE CODE SESSIONS

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

To maximize the efficiency of Claude Code sessions, users should clear prior context when starting new tasks, set the model and effort level early, and use @-mentions for files to reduce unnecessary token usage. Reducing tokens isn't about using fewer overall but making sure the tokens spent directly contribute to the task at hand, as more tokens can accumulate when irrelevant context is included.
