Optimize token usage and context management. Use when sessions feel slow, context is degraded, or you're running out of budget.
Manage your context window and token budget effectively.
/context to check current usage| Action | Saves |
|---|
| When |
|---|
/compact | 30-50% context | At task boundaries |
| Disable unused MCPs | ~5% per MCP | When switching domains |
| Use subagents for exploration | Keeps main context clean | Heavy search/read tasks |
Fresh session via /resume | 100% reset | When starting unrelated work |
Set proactive auto-compaction:
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE": "50"
}
}
Keep <10 MCPs enabled, <80 tools total. Each MCP adds overhead to every request.
/mcp # List active servers
# Disable what you're not using
Heavy operations that generate lots of output should go to subagents:
The main session stays clean while subagents handle the volume.
| Phase | Target Usage | Action If Over |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | < 20% | Keep plans concise |
| Implementation | < 60% | Compact between files |
| Testing | < 80% | Delegate to subagent |
| Review | < 90% | Start fresh session |
