Developer tests Claude Code plugins to reduce token costs

Practical Tip

1. Analyze your multi-agent token usage to determine if cache reads from repeated context resubmissions are driving up costs.
2. Install and test the Ponytail plugin for Claude Code to force agents through structured, turn-reducing workflows.
3. Optimize agent instructions and tool definitions to minimize the context size sent during each agent iteration.
