Cut your token bill
Measure where the tokens go, then shrink what your agent reads and send easy work to cheaper models.
Measure first. ccusage shows where your tokens actually go. RTK and Repomix shrink what the agent reads from the shell and from your codebase, and Serena lets it read symbols instead of whole files. Claude Code Router sends easy work to cheaper models. LLMLingua compresses long prompts when you control the pipeline.
