Decent article on how to query claude without burning too many tokens.
Summary:
1. Edit instead of following up
Go to your prompt → click the pencil icon → rewrite it → hit send. Claude regenerates as if the bad response never happened, so you avoid piling up conversation history.
2. Start fresh every 15–20 messages
When a chat gets long, ask Claude "Summarize everything we've discussed so far," copy that summary, open a new chat, paste it as your opening message, and continue there. Avoids the exponentially rising token cost of long threads.
3. Batch questions into one message
Instead of three separate asks, combine them — e.g. "Summarize this article, list the main points as bullets, then suggest a headline" — so context is only loaded once instead of three times.
4. Upload recurring files to Projects
