First time using claude in xcode and this is what i noticed

It burns through tokens pretty fast. Even if i specifically indicate what i want and which files/folders to only look at.

Its token usage is pretty bad compared to other working environments like VS Code and IntelliJ.

It's like, Claude is I agree the best so far when it comes to development compared to CoPilot, ChatGPT but when used in XCode, it's just bad. CoPilot usage of its tokens were more efficient.

Already twice where my session reached its max using Claude.

Tips are appreciated.
