Do you mean that users should start a new chat for every new task, to save tokens? Thanks.

Short answer is yes. Not only is it more token-friendly and potentially lower latency, it also prevents weird context issues like forgetting Rules, compacting your conversation and missing relevant details, etc.

Yep. I have Claude snapshot to a markdown doc with key points and resume and iterate. Saves so many tokens.
