Best Practices

Use CLI over MCP — save 37% tokens on every command
Without this: Token wastage with MCP. With this: Efficient token usage and reduced costs. Add `hooks.PreToolUse` to decompose compound commands
Before: Dangerous command chaining. After: Safe execution with sub-command checks. Install Upstack to enforce Red/Green TDD in 30 seconds
Before: Haphazard testing. After: Structured TDD workflow and provable code quality.
