Code Claude introduced an experimental code mode - now Claude can blow up a bunch of files with one script and save tokens before reading files and run commands in turn, and the output of each context volume step. In code mode, it writes a short script that looks for what it wants, removes the extra, and returns the result to the model. In the demo, searching for broken links in Mell took 2 moves in 13th place; That is, the context is not flooded with the output of intermediate commands, so the session lasts longer; In the Anthropology example, this approach reduced the cost from 150k to 2k tokens. The mode works in terminal with version 2.1.323. To reverse this, set the CLAUDE EXPERIMENTAL Code MODE=1 variable.
