⬇️ One-Click Setup (Claude Code extension)

For the Claude Code extension in VS Code, Cursor, or Antigravity. Install the extension once, then download the launcher for your tool and double-click it — it configures everything and opens your editor automatically.

📌 Do this once: install the Claude Code extension (from Anthropic) from the Marketplace of your tool (VS Code / Cursor / Antigravity all have it), and install Node.js + Claude Code: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

🪟 Windows

Install the Claude Code extension in your tool.
Download the correct .bat above.
Close all running editors (VS Code / Cursor / Antigravity) completely.
Double-click the .bat, paste your API Key (sk-...), press Enter.
The editor opens automatically — click the Claude Code icon in the sidebar.

🍎 Mac

Install the Claude Code extension in your tool.
Download the correct .command above.
First time only, allow it to run: chmod +x BAYON-CLAUDE-VSCODE.command
Close all running editors, then double-click the file. If macOS blocks it: right-click → Open → Open.
Paste your API Key (sk-...), press Enter. The editor opens automatically.

⚠️ You must close all editors before running the file. If a window is already open, the new settings won't apply and Claude Code will not point to the BayonStore server.

🧩 Tips for Stable Use

›Type /compact every 30–50 chats to reduce context.
›Open a new session when changing projects.
›Use Opus for difficult tasks; Sonnet/Haiku for regular file editing — saves tokens.
›Install Node.js and Claude Code first: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

💰 Saving Tokens

Tokens are mostly consumed by context (history + attachments), not replies. The whole conversation is re-sent each turn, so longer sessions cost more per reply.

1. Manage chat sessions

/clear when changing topic — start a fresh session.
/compact every 30–50 turns — compress history but keep the main idea.
One task = one session. Don't cram many tasks into one long session.

2. Limit unnecessary context

Attach only the files you need; don't paste entire folders.
Trim logs/outputs to the relevant parts.
Break large tasks into smaller, clearly defined steps.

3. Choose a suitable model

Haiku: easy tasks (typos, renames, quick questions) — cheapest.
Sonnet: everyday tasks, balancing quality and cost.
Opus: only for difficult tasks needing deep reasoning.
-thinking variants cost more — use only when necessary.

💡 If you see "Context too long", type /compact or /clear and resend. This means your context exceeds the model limit — it is not a server error.
