A user developed an open-source tool called Repowise to reduce token waste in Claude Code, an AI assistant. The tool compresses command output and curates retrieval results, saving approximately 10.5 million tokens over one week, which translates to about $158 in avoided costs. This optimization addresses inefficiencies in how Claude Code processes file content and command-line information, with retrieval accounting for a significant portion of the savings. AI
