If you run Claude as a daily driver, you’re paying an invisible tax. Before answering anything, Claude re-reads your memory file, your skill descriptions, your scheduled-task list — all of it, every single session. Most of that context is bloat you wrote once and never trimmed. This builds on the cleanup I wrote up in how I cut my Claude token costs by 60%.
My first cleanup pass cut scheduled-task overhead by roughly 60% without breaking a single workflow. This pack is that cleanup, distilled into four copy-paste prompts.
What’s Inside
- Scheduled Task Trim — cut the descriptions your agent re-reads every day
- The CLAUDE.md Diet — shrink the file loaded into every session
- Skills Audit — trim always-loaded skill descriptions without breaking triggers
- The Convergence Loop — one master prompt that runs all three on repeat until there’s nothing safe left to cut
Who It’s For
Anyone running Claude Code, Cowork, or the Claude desktop app as a daily driver. Pays off fastest on premium models like Fable 5 and Opus, where every token counts double.
Format
8-page PDF. Paste, run, spend less.
Pairs with the Henry OS Starter Kit if you want the full operating system this cleanup pack was built to support.
FAQ
Will this work if I don’t use Claude Code?
Yes. The prompts work in Claude Code, Cowork, and the desktop app, anywhere your memory files and skills get re-read each session.
How long does the cleanup take?
Most people run all four prompts in under 30 minutes the first time, then just the audit prompt monthly after that.
