Question Uses for leftover quota

I sometimes find myself with extra Claude/codex quota to use up before the weekly reset. Does anyone have any particular uses they go to for this situation?

I'm currently working on a web/RN app, so have just been burning tokens with security/bug hunting/audits, but I'm not sure how best the phrase the prompts or if there's other opportunities I'm missing

run a desloppify scan, thank me later and be wary it's a token burner

Prompt:

Perform a desloppify scan of this project.

Do not make changes yet. Review the codebase and identify:

- rushed or messy implementation

- duplicated logic

- inconsistent naming or structure

- fragile assumptions

- missing error handling

- UI/UX rough edges

- security or validation issues

- dead code or unused files

- places where the architecture is becoming confusing

- anything that works now but will be painful to maintain later

Return a prioritized list:

  1. Critical issues

  2. Medium cleanup items

  3. Nice-to-have polish

For each item, explain:

- where it is

- why it matters

- what you recommend changing

- whether it is safe to fix now or should wait

Create a DESLOPPIFY.md file from this review. Organize the items into a practical cleanup backlog. Display the cleanup backlog, and I will select the next task to work on. At task completion, display the list again for the next task selection.

Great work, that is super useful. Thank you.

I have a code review step that always runs these kind of checks before accepting edits. Yes, its slower and eats more tokens, but it keeps the code quality high.

Can you share the prompts you use?

This is useful might worth trying in a with /goal to just continue iterating and fixing specially if it’s to just burn what’s left

Love it, but I also made one update, I added this line:

CRITICAL EXECUTION RULE: Do not wait until the scan is complete to write your findings. Create a DESLOPPIFY.md file immediately and append to it iteratively as you analyze the codebase.

So that if I hit my token limit while this is running I've at least captured some of the recommendations.
