Claude Code Webinar Teaches Token Economics
Anthropic’s September 10 webinar explains how developers can reduce Claude Code costs through model selection, effort controls, prompt caching, context cleanup, and subagent delegation. The session is aimed at making long-running coding workflows more efficient.
The key lesson is that Claude Code productivity depends as much on context and cost management as raw model intelligence.
- –`/clear`, `/compact`, and `/rewind` prevent developers from repeatedly paying for irrelevant history.
- –Prompt-cache stability matters: changing models, effort, or fast mode can trigger expensive cache misses.
- –Lean `CLAUDE.md` files and fewer MCP servers reduce startup overhead on every turn.
- –Subagents isolate noisy, high-output work while keeping the main session focused.
- –The advice is especially valuable for teams running large repositories or subscription usage near its limits.
