install these before your next long Claude Code session
if your Opus 5.5 bill hurts and you don’t know where to start, copy this:
claude-code-router: sits in front of Claude Code and sends each request to the cheapest model that can do it. Haiku does the grep, Opus only gets the hard part. 37k stars
https://t.co/BPRj9RS41G
rtk: shrinks test, build and git output before the model sees it. one binary, up to 90% less bash output in your context. 83k stars
https://t.co/jqmzsgEbhq
claude-mem: remembers what happened in your past sessions and feeds back only the relevant part, so you stop paying to re-explain your project every morning. 100k stars
https://t.co/ysmRtSJnHd
context-mode: a huge tool output goes into a local database instead of your context window, and Claude pulls out only the lines it needs. 18k stars
https://t.co/Qs2jEcJnJt
caveman: makes Claude answer in short telegraphic sentences. code stays identical, and output is the expensive side on Opus 5.5 ($20 per million). 51k stars
https://t.co/fXhmWcItUG
token-optimizer: a local dashboard that shows where your tokens actually went, and keeps your work alive across compactions. 1.9k stars
https://t.co/U0oBdU1KYi
token-savior: replaces whole-file reads with symbol lookups, so Claude reads the function and not the 2,000 lines around it
https://t.co/6M27onjyP5
code-review-graph: maps your repo as a graph and gives Claude only the code connected to the change you’re reviewing
https://t.co/mo5DseySmH
jev-ultrafast: a browser agent where Jev picks every click, and a text model wakes up only when something has to be typed. 16,758 stars

none of them makes Opus smarter. every one stops it from paying for work it never needed to do

We’re excited to share our intent to acquire @Figma. Together, we will usher in a new era of collaborative creativity. Key info: https://t.co/9wDSHPhyvE
I don’t believe you have to have passion to be a programmer, and was a bit sick of hearing the argument.
So I spent some time unpacking with research how flow state is the reason that this is not a requirement and everyone is welcome in tech!
