A single drop-in CLAUDE.md configuration file that makes Claude Code responses terse and reduces output token usage on heavy workflows. It requires no code changes and works with any model that reads context instructions.

Use cases

  • reduce claude code output tokens
  • make claude responses terse
  • cut llm api costs on automation pipelines
  • get consistent parseable output from claude
  • stop claude from adding filler and unsolicited suggestions

When to choose

  • automation pipelines or agent loops with high output volume
  • repeated structured tasks where verbosity compounds across many calls
  • teams needing consistent output format across sessions

When to avoid

  • single short or casual one-off queries where the context overhead is a net token increase
  • fixing deep failure modes like hallucinated implementations
  • pipelines needing guaranteed parseable output - use structured outputs instead
  • workflows spawning fresh sessions per task
