Most of the cost isn't your questions. It's Claude re-reading the whole chat on every reply. Laudit shows how much, chat by chat.
Advice ranks the habits that cost you most, names the chats behind them, and says what each fix would have saved.
What-if replays your own chats with a new habit, such as handing off at 150K, and shows the difference before you change anything.
Nudges remind you inside Claude Code at the right moment. The Dashboard compares before and after, so you see whether it stuck.
Choose the projects folder inside .claude in your home folder. Laudit reads it and never changes it. Your full history is there from the first minute.
Costs then show as a share of your monthly plan, which is easier to judge than API dollars. Compare plans says whether yours fits your use.
Laudit opens on the one habit that would save you the most, with the chats behind it.
Optional. A status line with the chat's size, a guard against costly returns to big, expired chats, and /laudit. You see every change before it's made.
Laudit collects nothing. It has no network access, so your logs and its numbers never leave your Mac.
