Cursor Pricing is cooked

Consider Token Management: For future projects, or if Kiro's pricing tiers become active, consider these strategies to manage token usage:

  • Be Specific in Prompts: Clear, concise prompts reduce the need for the AI to explore irrelevant paths, potentially saving tokens.

  • Iterate Incrementally: Instead of asking Kiro to build an entire large feature at once, break it down into smaller, manageable sub-features. This allows you to approve smaller chunks and potentially reset context, managing token usage more effectively.

  • Use Steering Files Wisely: Well-defined steering files provide more context to the AI, reducing "hallucinations" or irrelevant code, which can consume tokens unnecessarily.
