HACK #3: Say "Ask me questions"
Write this: "I want you to [task] to accomplish [criteria]. Read my folder. Ask me questions using AskUserQuestion before you start."
HACK #4: Stop redoing the whole thing
When section 3 is wrong, say "Only redo section 3. Keep everything else." Add "No commentary. Just the output."
HACK #6: Batch tasks into one message
Instead of 3 separate prompts ("Summarize this" + "Then edit this" + "Suggest a headline"), send one prompt: "Summarize, list points, suggest a headline."
HACK #11: Summarize every 15–20 messages
Ask Claude to summarize the conversation every 20 prompts. Copy the summary. Open a new session. Paste it as your first message.
HACK #20: Prompt Claude Code tightly
Use very specific prompts: "Build a chart from this CSV. Save as chart.png."
