claude-code-usage

A set of working rules for handling unclear or large coding tasks in Claude Code, Anthropic's coding assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide when to ask for clarification, make a plan, analyse code, or debug an error.
Why use it?
It reduces wrong assumptions and keeps complex work manageable by separating tasks, planning multi-file changes, and clearing stale context.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-code-usage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to claude-code-usage — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Claude Code Best Practices

Language Rule

  • Always respond in the same language the user is using. If the user asks in Chinese, respond in Chinese. If in English, respond in English.

Context Management Rules

Rule Why
One window = one task Mixing tasks pollutes context and degrades output quality
Use /clear over /compact Clean start is more reliable than compressed context
/clear after complex tasks Prevents old context from interfering with new work
Copy key info to new windows Don't rely on context persistence — paste critical details

Task Execution Strategy

Task Type Recommended Approach
Small bug fix (few lines) Describe directly, let Claude modify in-place
Large feature / refactor /plan → review approach → /clear → paste plan → execute step by step
Multi-file changes Must use /plan workflow — never modify multiple files without a plan
Code analysis / learning Ask Claude to analyze directly — no plan needed
Debugging Provide error message + file path + relevant code — ask for root cause

Prompt Techniques

Do This

  • Give specific paths: "Modify the _transfer function in src/MyToken.sol"
  • Give examples: "Input: 100 tokens, Expected: 95 tokens after 5% fee"
  • Set boundaries: "Only modify this function, don't touch other code"
  • Reference tests: "The fix should make test_transfer_feeDeduction pass"

Avoid This

  • Vague references: "Modify that transfer function" — which one? Where?
  • Open-ended requests without constraints: "Make it better"
  • Multiple unrelated tasks in one message

Ambiguity Resolution — When Instructions Are Unclear

When a user instruction is vague, open-ended, or could be interpreted in multiple ways, do NOT guess and proceed. Proactively analyze the instruction and present all possible interpretations for the user to confirm before taking action.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
