TokenGuard product box

Opus 4.6 is powerful.
It's also expensive.

Claude's most capable model has a token appetite to match. Without guardrails, your quota evaporates.

2–5x

Token multiplication

Opus 4.6 uses 2–5x more tokens per request than Opus 4.5 for the same tasks.

$25

Thinking token costs

Thinking tokens bill at the $25/M output rate. Extended thinking drains budgets silently.

HIGH

Effort always maxed

"High" effort is the default—even for trivial edits, grep searches, and one-line fixes.

83%

Late compaction

Auto-compaction triggers at ~83% context. By then, response quality has already degraded.

5AM

Peak-hour throttling

5AM–11AM PT weekdays see heavy throttling. Queues back up, sessions stall.

3–9x

Quota drain

Max plan quotas draining 3–9x faster than expected. $200/mo users hitting limits in hours.

What TokenGuard Does

Eight disciplines, one config pack. TokenGuard teaches Claude Code to be resource-conscious from the first prompt.

Auto-compaction at 50–60%

Triggers compaction early, before quality degrades. Keeps context fresh.

Effort level discipline

Defaults to medium effort. High only when the task genuinely requires it.

Targeted file reading

Grep first, read only what's needed. No more dumping entire files into context.

Session handoff prompts

Detects when a fresh session would be more efficient. Prompts you to hand off.

MCP hygiene reminders

Flags unnecessary MCP calls. Keeps tool usage lean and intentional.

Response discipline

Concise output. No preambles, no trailing summaries. Just the answer.

Peak hour awareness

Adjusts behavior during 5AM–11AM PT to minimize throttle exposure.

Post-compaction hook

Template hook that re-injects critical rules after context compaction.
