# tokenomics *Spend your working context well and you spend fewer tokens: tighter context drifts less, and drift is where the waste hides.* Tokenomics is a discipline of context economics: a model's working context is the scarce resource, spent well only when work runs in cycles whose boundaries compress it. At every cycle boundary the working context dies (the exploration, the dead ends, the reasoning) and only the distilled artifact crosses: a spec, a queue line, a ledger update. That discipline pays off in tokens: a tight, deliberately compressed context costs fewer of them per cycle and drifts less, and drift is where a lot of token waste quietly hides. Tier routing is the first application of that idea, not the idea itself: the expensive model does only the work that is expensive to get wrong, every handoff crosses tiers on a written spec, and a living playbook, not re-exploration, carries strategy between sessions. Concretely, tokenomics is a Claude Code plugin (three skills) paired with a portable method doc and two templates the skills operate on. The skills apply the discipline inside a session: routing a task, writing a handoff
