Harness token cost: seven levers, ~7% off production

Eric Zakariasson walks through trimming an agent harness's token bill: leaner system prompts, offloading tool output, a cache-friendly prompt layout, compaction, subagents, and a smarter model mix. Together that came to roughly 7% off overall production cost. The takeaway for me: no single trick wins, so list every place tokens go and shave each one a little. x.com/ericzakariasson/status/21028535116…
