Four Days, $1,216 of Opus: Measuring a Solo Robotics Sprint on Claude Code Max
Between April 17 and April 21, 2026 I shipped ROBOT.md v0.1 through v0.8, an MCP server, a hardware pendant with ESP32-C6 firmware, and the landing page at robotmd.dev — across 364 commits in five repositories. This post documents the resource envelope (tokens, cost, cache-hit rate, commit cadence) and compares the observed working style to Thariq Shihipar's published recommendations for the 1M context window.
