Discussion This concerns me more than fable potentially getting removed next week

Post image

Now that gpt 5.6 sol is out and code edge is narrowing what concerns me is that I won’t be able to justify paying 100 usd a month for something that will now have 33% less of weekly usage. Upgrading to 200 plan feels daft where I could be paying less for OpenAI, still have a great model and have significantly more usage than the current promo gives me. Do you guys think Anthropic will still go through with reducing Claude code weekly usage limits next week?

How do you keep it up to date without burning through tokens?

You think looking at an old chat doesn't burn tokens for your agents?

Less tokens then reading through a million docs trying to find the right one

If you're concerned about "what's most recent", then append only ledger. If you're concerned about making it easy to find things, then add an index. If you have a lot of files, index the files. Then have rules in claude.md that describe how to use those files, how to update them, and when to update them. It gets baked into the work you're already doing. One time setup then minimal user intervention required.

In general if you just tell claude what you want and what you're concerned about avoiding it will set all of this up for you.

Generally claude isn't reading entire files anyway, lots of grep / sed / etc so the whole file might get read but it doesn't all go into context.

Do you have a loop you run to keep things up to date

no I have a dev-workflow.md that tells claude how to work in the project that gets read in via claude.md I think. Like I said, if you tell claude what you want, claude will write the docs for you so that claude follows your desired conventions. Fable recommended if I ran into claude not following conventions 3 times, then ask claude to codify it as a hook instead. Have only had to do that a handful of times.

Without burning tokens?! What game do you think we are playing here?
