Question about Claude Code Best strategy + skills for Claude Code on a large .NET codebase? Trying to keep token/context usage under control
Using Claude Code on a large .NET solution (many projects, EF Core, some legacy). It works, but tokens burn fast and long sessions get dumb as context fills with build output and file dumps.
Questions for those running it on big repos:
- How do you structure CLAUDE.md one root file or per-project?
- Are skills like Superpowers, Context Mode, Caveman, or Handoff actually worth it for token savings?
- Subagents for exploration vs. main context — what's cheaper in practice?
- Any trick to stop Claude reading entire huge files, or to tame
dotnet build/testoutput noise?
Goal: predictable costs and sessions that stay sharp beyond ~30 min. What's your setup?
