[Bug Report: Claude baloons context]

Bug Description
Claude code is using so much tokens. there are over 20k tokens used each time just because you at antropic decided that is necessary. A simple message can easily baloon to over 5% usage.

Had one this morning, that slurped through 33% of the usage in a single message. It loves to consume tokens.... Antropic's goal? Probably!
