I'm on the Claude Pro plan, and I've been hitting my session limit pretty consistently and I'm trying to squeeze more out of each one. Curious what's working for people. What I'm getting Claude to do right now: - Model routing — drop to a cheaper model for routine turns - Session handoffs instead of /compact - CLIs over MCPs where I can - Read each file once and reference it from then on Anyone got other tips for keeping token usage down / getting more out of a session before hitting the wall? Always looking to learn.

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

For a while now I’ve been using VS Code and workspaces with the Claude Code extension to manage multiple projects. This often means having several separate windows open simultaneously and switching between them to respond to different project statuses. To help manage this, I’ve set up a local system message (hook) that reminds me when a Claude Code session in a specific workspace has a question for me or ends. I’d like to transition to using Claude Code in the terminal within VS Code. It offers more specific options and I’d also like to reduce the number of open windows projects and workspaces. Ideally, I’d like to consolidate everything into a single window displaying multiple projects with multiple Claude Code terminal sessions/tabs. So, I’m curious about how others manage this and what their pro tips are.
