God of Prompt claims Claude wastes tokens on unasked filler and shares a system prompt that forces brevity, positioned as a direct cost and speed optimization.

Claude burns 75% of its tokens saying things you never asked for.
I built a system prompt called "Kevin Mode" that kills all of it.
Normal Claude: ~180 tokens per task.
Kevin Mode: ~45 tokens.
Kevin Mode: ~45 tokens per task.
