**Don't go into production without these.**
Three flagship skills extracted from 6 months of real Claude Code usage. Not coding principles. Not spec-driven workflow. Just the survival kit.

Why this exists
One 2-hour Claude Code session. 96 `opus` calls. Peak context: **365K tokens**. Bill: **$115+**.
That was one session. I ran many.
After 6 months of tracking where tokens actually go and where plans actually drift, I extracted three specific rules. On cache-hit math and sub-agent cost isolation, they **cut similar sessions by ~80%**.
This repo ships those three rules as auto-triggering Claude Code skills. Install takes 10 seconds. No config.
What makes this different
This is not another "best practices" repo. The Claude Code ecosystem already has excellent ones. Pick your lane:
| Repo | What it teaches | What we DON'T try to be |
|---|---|---|
| `karpathy-skills` | Coding principles (Think Before Coding, Simplicity First, ...) | We don't teach how to write code |
| `cc-sdd` | Spec-driven development workflow (17 skills, Kiro-style) | We don't run your dev pipeline |
| `best-practice` | Comprehensive tutorial site, videos, guides | We don't duplicate their breadth |
