KV-Cache-Aware Context Engineering (Advanced) — 10x cost reduction by treating cache hit rate as your most important metric. Make system prompts stable, use append-only history, static tools with logit masking. Manus Blog
Claude Code Agent Teams (Intermediate) — Run coordinated multi-instance teams with shared task lists. Enable via CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1. Use Shift+Down to cycle teammates, Ctrl+T for shared tasks. Claude Code Docs
Enforced TDD via Subagent Isolation (Advanced) — Three separate subagents for RED/GREEN/REFACTOR phases. Test writer can't see implementation. Hook-based activation raises enforcement from ~20% to ~84%. alexop.dev
MCP Tool Search (Intermediate) — Lazy-load tool definitions for 95% initial context savings. Write keyword-rich serverInstructions. Auto-activates above 10% context usage. claudefa.st
Cross-Platform SKILL.md (Intermediate) — Write once, run on 26+ platforms (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI). Progressive disclosure: ~100 tokens for discovery, full body on activation. Validate with skills-ref validate. agentskills.io
OWASP MCP Server Hardening (Advanced) — Defense-in-depth checklist: input validation with allowlists, containerize with default-deny network, OAuth 2.1 with short-lived tokens, log all tool invocations. 53% of MCP servers still use static credentials. OWASP
