š Three game-changing Claude Code discoveries that completely changed how I build software this week. I've been porting SEO Grove to Next.js and discovered some insane capabilities that most people don't know about. Here's what I learned: š” Tip 1: The 1 Million Token Sonnet Model ā Sonnet 4.5 has a secret 1M context window option ā Use /model and select "Sonnet 1M context" ā Complete entire projects without running /compact ā Combined with sub-agents, this is incredibly powerful š° Tip 2: Spend Way Less Than $200/Month ā Use API key billing instead of Max plan ā Set a $50 limit and turn off auto-reload ā Tell Claude to use Haiku 4.5 for heavy lifting ā Get full projects done for a fraction of the cost ā” Tip 3: Unlimited Sub-Agent Spawning ā The 1M context lets you spawn way more agents ā I tested 178 concurrent agents (it worked!) ā No rate limits hit on Sonnet ā Better approach: spawn fewer agents with consistent prompts š§ Bonus: Chrome DevTools MCP beats Playwright ā Works instantly every time ā Get Core Web Vitals data automatically ā You can use MCPs inside your own AI agents too This is the kind of advanced Claude Code knowledge that saves you hours and hundreds of dollars. I'll be doing more brain dumps like this as I learn new techniques.
