I was burning Claude Code and Codex on stuff I never used.

Here’s what I changed to maxx my use on both:
- read CLAUDE.md for my computer and project myself
- use the smarter model as architect (Fable 5.1 / Opus 5.5) and have it spawn Codex (Sol 6) agents to execute or review the work (uses both subs + smarter)
- set a daily routine task at 7am so my 5-hour window resets earlier
- reviewed my skills (with CC) and removed the ones I don’t use
- disabled all MCPs I don’t use (you can always enable them again later)
- stopped using browser and computer use (great, but burns way too many tokens)
