Two Claude accounts, one session

Read on bjornjohansen.com

Summary

claude-swap is a CLI tool that watches your Claude usage and automatically swaps to a secondary account when the active account hits 90% of its quota. Install via pipx, add accounts, and run `cswap auto` (or its dashboard) to keep sessions alive, though each swap incurs a cold‑cache cost.

  • Install claude‑swap with `pipx install claude-swap` and add each Claude account via `cswap add`.
  • Run `cswap auto` (or use the dashboard) to monitor usage and auto‑switch when quota reaches ~90%.
  • The tool must stay running in the foreground; it does not operate as a background daemon.
  • Swapping triggers a cold cache, causing an 11‑13% bump in the 5‑hour quota on the first request after a switch.

Anyone who relies on Claude’s limited quota for continuous work will benefit from uninterrupted sessions.

  5. Audit your Agent files

    Agent configuration files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, skill packs) accumulate stale rules, inflating token usage and hurting performance. Regular audits—using Claude’s /doctor, pruning to <200 lines, and encoding hard constraints in hooks—restore lean, effective agents.
