I Cut Claude API Costs by 50% Using This Self Modifying Agentic System

I've been developing a self-modifying Al agent system that effectively cuts my Claude API usage in half, Claude thinks and then I basically just copy/paste Claude's instructions for the agents to work on. Come back in 6 hours and it's done for free on local hardware. I'II explain precisely how it works below. Repo: What it is: A system that runs 24/7 on my RTX 5070 gaming PC (but can run on CPU on any laptops as well, just slower) which I use to offload tasks that can be figured out over X amount of time. It becomes a time issue, not a model issue.
