Claude hasn’t banned accounts yet, my friends!
The official team just dropped a handy tip to save tokens.
Claude Code now supports the Concise output style!
No fluff, straight to the results. Shorter responses, faster reply speeds, details are still there, and efficiency is maxed out.
In a command-line agent, previous dialogues become context and get billed repeatedly. Switching to Concise cuts out explanations and only outputs code—this not only speeds up responses but also saves a ton of tokens!
How to set it up? Just follow the video tutorial—one second and you’re done!
As for why I made a video? To celebrate this account surviving for half a month.
PracticalBro MinLi (@MinLiBuilds): Claude Code is now officially teaching you how to save tokens.
/config now includes outputStyle: Concise:
Say less, save output tokens directly.
Reminds me of how some folks used to craft prompts in classical Chinese:
“Check project status and continue execution”
→ “Check project, continue.”
Going to such lengths to save a few tokens is getting a bit obsessed. 😂
🔥But the real token hog is actually the input.

Claude Code team shares best practices: CLAUDE.md should be as short as possible and regularly cleared; insists on CLI over GUI because models improve too fast; using AI to fix bugs is already remarkably efficient. Core strategy: subtract, keep configuration light, and trust model capabilities.
@oran_ge: Claude's account bans are ridiculous - detecting proxy relays, sending phishing emails, blacklisting proxies... Those still stubbornly using official accounts are true fans.

The author complains about severe Claude account bans, making it difficult for users to use official accounts normally. For coding, codex and glm5.2 can replace Claude, but there is no perfect substitute for writing and thinking, only deepseek and gemini barely usable.
