Interesting - I've been digging into Claude Code's behavior patterns too, but from the cost side. The variance in how many API calls a task takes is wild. A simple refactoring can be 3 calls or 30 depending on codebase state. Curious what tools it suggested — did any of them relate to reducing unnecessary loops?

I made tilth much for the same reasons. Its MIT licence, open source and saves you 30% token use (benchmarked) https://github.com/jahala/tilth

Interesting about the `semgrep` tool; I've never heard of it before. The strange thing (or not) is that I have got completely different set of recommendations coming from claude. Also; funny thing is I use mise a lot more than brew and claude could pick up on that.
