Best Practices

Use CLI over MCP — save 37% tokens on every command
Without this: MCP servers add extra token cost. With this: CLI commands offer a leaner, more efficient alternative. Inject pre-output prompts to halve hallucinations
Before: Frequent hallucinations in Claude's output. After: Reduced errors by embedding self-audit rules. Delegate UI verification to Claude Code's preview feature
Before: Manual UI checks and PR writing. After: Automated verification with custom skills, saving time and reducing errors.
