A practical guide to configuring Claude Code for better reliability and speed, based on six months of daily use. Key recommendations include keeping CLAUDE.md under 8,000 characters, using modular 'Skills' files for on-demand context loading, configuring settings.json with safe/dangerous command permissions, using hooks for session logging and dangerous command blocking, matching agent effort levels to task complexity, recognizing 'context rot' and restarting sessions proactively, applying a two-corrections rule before restarting, using multiple models as an architecture review panel, and maintaining environment-specific permission profiles. Token usage dropped 30–40% after restructuring context files.
