(Podcast) Claude Code just saved your token budget from total disaster!

Описание: Is your AI’s brain feeling a bit... full? 🧠 In this episode, we’re diving into how *Claude Code* just saved your token budget from total disaster! 💸

We’ve all been there—connecting a few *MCP servers* only to watch your context window die before you even send a prompt. One Reddit user even saw *67,000 tokens vanish* just by linking four servers! The culprit? *Context Bloat**. 🎈 Every tool name, description, and complex **JSON schema* was being preloaded into the model’s memory before you could even say "Hello, Claude".

But the game has changed! 🎮 The Claude Code team has introduced **Tool Search**, a brilliant fix that has already slashed total agent tokens by a massive **46.9%**. We explore how this update shrank a heavy 51K token load down to a lean **8.5K tokens**, fundamentally changing the **economics of AI coding**. 📉

We also discuss:
Why preloading *100+ tools* was burning through your credits.
How *Tool Search* acts as a smart filter to keep your context window clean.
Community reactions, from those moving to *CLI-based skills* to the uncertainty of "searching for a tool you don't know exists yet".

Stop wasting your context and start **optimising your workflow**! 🚀
