Tips and Tricks

Get Better Output

1. Use a CLAUDE.md file. Even a basic one dramatically improves output quality.
2. Use .claude/rules/ for contextual rules. Security rules when touching auth. Testing rules when writing tests. They load only when relevant.
3. Be specific in negative constraints. "Never use enum" > "Follow TypeScript best practices."
4. Start with Plan mode for complex tasks. Hit Shift+Tab to cycle to Plan mode before diving into implementation.

Save Money

1. Use /cost to check current session spend
2. Use /clear to reset context when Claude gets confused (avoids wasting tokens going in circles)
3. Keep CLAUDE.md concise — every line is tokens you pay for every message
4. Use Plan mode first for complex tasks to avoid expensive re-dos

Work Faster

1. Shift+Tab — Cycle between Ask, Edit, and Plan modes
2. Ctrl+G — Edit your last prompt without retyping
3. Esc — Stop Claude mid-response
4. Tab — Accept Claude's suggestion
5. /clear — Reset context when things go sideways
