## Tips & Techniques
- **Claude Code Context Optimization**: Anthropic fixed dynamic MCP Tool Search, saving up to 67,000 tokens before writing a single prompt—context that was being wasted on tool initialization. This directly improves both token efficiency and reasoning accuracy. [link](https://x.com/MervinPraison/status/2014003654118838368)

- **Agent-Friendly Dev Setup**: Make your development environment agent-friendly by ensuring agents can see and do everything you can, keeping environments isolated for parallel execution, and documenting common agent mistakes in a shared reference. This compounds agent effectiveness. [link](https://x.com/vincentmvdm/status/2013996242297131092)

- **Browser Pools for Agent Evaluation**: Spin up multiple isolated browsers simultaneously to run large-scale evals on browser agents and QA your site in parallel without per-minute compute charges. [link](https://x.com/rfgarcia/status/2014003840404672751)
