Token Usage Optimization

Purpose

Reduce token consumption while maintaining quality through intelligent coordination.

Optimization Strategies

1. Smart Caching

• Search results cached for 5 minutes
• File content cached during session
• Pattern recognition reduces redundant searches

2. Efficient Coordination

• Agents share context automatically
• Avoid duplicate file reads
• Batch related operations

3. Measurement & Tracking

# Check token savings after session
Tool: mcp__claude-flow__token_usage
Parameters: {"operation": "session", "timeframe": "24h"}

# Result shows:
{
  "metrics": {
    "tokensSaved": 15420,
    "operations": 45,
    "efficiency": "343 tokens/operation"
  }
}

Best Practices

1. **Use Task tool** for complex searches 2. **Enable caching** in pre-search hooks 3. **Batch operations** when possible 4. **Review session summaries** for insights
