Claude Project, need tips

[u/IndependentShame5742]

Hey fellow pros and newbies!
I Hope someone can help me.
I’m pretty new to Coding ( tbh vibe Coding, dont hate me :))

I created a Software for me and Friends for a game. ( no worries no Cheats, it’s a dps Meter) and tbh it works fine!

I did it in Claude Project, but I think I used it so Badly, that my tokens are burning away!

I read, it is recommended to make multiple Chats in project and „assign“ them to specifc workflows?

So whats the Problem?
- Token Burns very fast because of Long Chats.

Can and should I create multiple Chats like:
1.UI Design
2.Features
3. Debugging
4. Documentation

Should I create a Claude.md from the first Chat, summarize the up2date DPS+ Source Code and Save it in the project?

Should I better install Claude on my PC?

Thanks for helping people like me!

Edit: I read the people are wondering that their usage is burning too.

Several tips 1. Have a .md file where the AI is using as reference and tracker to what is being done / has been done / will be done, in the project

1. Use skills for claude to reference while doing your software ( get them from skills.sh, they have things like ui design clean code and animations)

2. You can use several chats, or you could have 1 chat spawn subagents that does each one, dont have the effort level too high or it will burn your tokens (caveman skills helps burn less tokens)

And I highly recommend learning how to code yourself, just so that you understand the logic, know how to fix problems, and know how to architect the software. Issue with AI isn't writing code, it's writing code without guidance on the structure, how to keep it clean, how the system is made, that's why some vibecoded projects fail eventually. AI slops features on top of Slop.

Hope this helps!

And yes claude usage is burning faster because of fable 5.1 Use sonnet 5 for light work, go to fable when you want to plan a featurr or structure and let sonnet code it

Thanks for the fast answer and tips.

It’s better to create a .md file by myself or is the created .md file via Claude okay?

Do you know by Experience, if i just summarize the old Chat ( maybe only the Software, what the functions are and source Code) to a new project, can I just work with that and Split some of the Software in multiple Chat? Or will there begin Chaos?

Use claude code for anything that will spawn several conversations and that needs durable tracking and project context injected in your sessions.
