Claude Code is my daily driver. I run a Pro subscription and squeeze roughly 30× the usual mileage out of it by spending tokens deliberately — pairing the agent with memory frameworks like claude-mem and modern agent harnesses like ECC and superpowers to reuse context, cut redundant re-reads, and keep long sessions cheap. Effective spend over raw spend.
I instrument my own sessions with claude-code-langfuse-tracing, so these are real numbers from the last 30 days:
| Traces | Observations | Tokens (30d) | Models in rotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.45K | 18.4K | ~1.7B | Opus 4.8 · Sonnet 5 · Haiku 4.5 · Fable 5 |
Things I've shipped for the Claude Code ecosystem:
- 🦊
kitsune-mcp— shape-shifting MCP hub:shapeshift()into 10,000+ MCP servers at runtime, one entry point, no restarts - 🔭
claude-code-langfuse-tracing— zero-intrusion observability; a Stop hook replays transcripts into Langfuse as backdated, session-grouped traces with token/cost - 📡
claude-A2A-Comm— A2A-protocol messaging between Claude Code sessions, local or over a Pi/VPS hub - 🧰
