3-Step Token Management: CLAUDE.md + Context Folder + Fresh Chat Per Task

Claude Code / Skills◆ Beginner◆ Intermediate@wright_modesaved JUN 15

◇ Could this help me?

Yes: The context folder pattern (step 2) is underused, keeping heavy reference docs separate and pulling them on-demand is more efficient than loading everything into every session.

✦ Walkthrough+10 xp / step

Create CLAUDE.md with your reusable rules and context (Project instructions in Claude.ai, or global CLAUDE.md in Claude Code).
Create a context/ folder with reference docs: reference them by name only when needed rather than loading everything upfront.
Start a fresh chat for each distinct task: don't continue yesterday's long chat for today's quick task.
