NIComment "CLAUDE" to get the Advanced Claude Code Guide to learn more such tricks and tips.
If your Claude Code keeps hitting usage limits, then here are three tricks to make it run way more efficiently.
First, always use /model OpusPlan. It makes sure Claude uses Opus 4.6 for planning.
Sonnet handles everything else. Think of it like this. Opus plans the big picture. Sonnet does the work.
Opus burns tokens fast. Sonnet saves them. I tried it last week. My token use dropped by half.
Second, use /compact when chats get too long. Claude re-reads your whole chat each time.
That wastes tokens. Run /compact. It squeezes everything into a short summary.
You keep the key points. No lost context. Like packing a suitcase tight.
I used it on a big project. We coded for hours more.
And finally, add "ultrathink" at the end of prompts for tough tasks.
It forces Claude to think first. No code until the plan is set. Fewer mistakes. Less back and forth.
Picture a chef tasting before serving. I asked Claude to build an app.
Added ultrathink. Got it right first try. Tokens saved big time.
Because these tricks work together.
You get more done. Here is how they help:
1. /model OpusPlan splits the load smartly.
2. /compact keeps chats lean.
3. ultrathink plans ahead.
I’ve recorded a full 3-hour advanced Claude Code course breaking down more such tricks and tips.
