How PRISM works; and what it found on my own machine
by•
Hey Everyone!
I Built PRISM after hitting Claude Code token limits with no visibility into why.
Turns out Claude Code writes detailed session logs to ~/.claude/projects/,
every tool call, every message, every compaction event.
PRISM reads those files and surfaces what's actually happening.
What it found on my own machine:
→ 6738% CLAUDE.md re-read cost in one session
→ Rules being silently ignored after line 80
→ Migration file edits that violated my own project rules
→ Retry loops I never knew were happening
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what it catches.
Would love to know what it finds on your machines; the numbers are usually surprising.
Scheduled to release April 14th, 2026 12:01 AM PDT.
