Hook

Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Claude Code has a new feature that reduces its token consumption, makes Claude smarter, and makes your Claude setup more efficient. This is the new checkup feature, and here are the seven things that it does. To run a checkup, just type in slash checkup to Claude Code. The first thing it does is looks through your Claude Code's history to see which skills, MCPs, and plugins Claude is or isn't using, and then cleans up unused ones to reduce context consumption. Secondly, it goes through your user level, project level, and local claw dot MD files and dedupe them against each other. Then if your claw dot MD files are too long, which most of yours probably are, it splits your single claw dot MD file into nested claw dot MD files that are more specific. You'll be shocked at how much just these first three points reduce your baseline context consumption when you start up Claude Code because it allows Claude to progressively disclose the information that it needs when it needs it. No. 4, it tests all of your Claude Code hooks to make sure none of them are too slow, and if they are, it makes them more efficient. Number 5, it automatically updates Claude to make sure you're up to date. 6, it configures your Claude to have auto mode on by default so you don't have to start up Claude Code manually in auto mode. Lastly, from that Claude history that it already read, it sees which read only commands that you often approve and automatically configures those in your approved commands. This is one of dozens of helpful built in slash commands in skills and Claude Code. If you want to learn about all of those and how to use them to the best of your ability, I have full video courses on all of that in my Skool community. The link is in my bio. I'd love to see you there!
