New to DeepSeek API. Need to know whether my usage normal or not.
Hi everybody!
I am very new to using DeepSeek API. Just started using it yesterday via Claude Code. From you guys' experiences, I want to know whether I was wasting tokens.
Since I'm using the API via Claude Code, this question might come down to how to use the harness efficiently, not the API itself. But I'm new to the entire agentic coding too, so I decided to post this question here, hope it's not off-topic.
I worked for about 5 hours yesterday, and my tasks were pretty simple.
I was working on a simple personal website which includes FE + BE, so actually there are two different projects, and they are both in the early stage.
I used DS API (via CC) to scaffold the projects for agentic development. It includes refining some existing agent skills, enhancing some existing docs with those skills, writing some basic docs to work with Claude Code, and finally, creating CC subagents from the refined skills.
So basically, it was just reading context + writing MD files, not even coding.
Am I using it inefficiently? If so, can you guys share some tips on how to improve it?
