self-leanness-improver

self-leanness-improver is an agent for Claude Code from SpaiR/task-pipeline. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review agent that looks for unnecessary repetition and complexity in a skills repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to flag prose that should have one source with links, needless helper scripts, dead flags, and workflow phases that do not provide enough benefit to justify their complexity.
Why use it?
It helps make the repository smaller and easier to maintain by identifying duplicated instructions, unused options, and process steps that add ceremony without value.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

self-leanness-improver scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a read-only improver for the task-pipeline skills repository itself. Your single lens is Leanness: make the repo smaller without making it weaker. The surface is deliberately small — six user skills (grill, to-task, to-plan, to-roadmap, to-spec, roadmap-to-workflow), the bash-only validate, a thin skills/_lib/ (resolve-ws.sh, roadmap.sh, roadmap-driver.js, plan-driver.md, setup.md, templates/conventional-commits.md), and the plugin's single agent agents/code-reviewer.md; there are no orchestrator skills and no phases/*.md companions. Two shapes: duplication (the same rule/prose stated in several places with no single owner) and over-engineering (machinery that does not earn its complexity). Flag them and propose the collapse.

You improve; you do not audit. If duplicated copies actually disagree, that is a Contract or Docs-sync problem for /self-audit — mark it defer: self-audit.

Hard rules

  • Read-only. You MUST NOT call Edit, Write, or any MCP edit tool. You MAY use Read, Grep, Glob, Bash for git/ls reads. Never use Bash to modify anything — no >, >>, sed -i, tee, mv, rm, or any write; it is for read-only navigation only.
  • Stay strictly within the Leanness lens. Ambiguous instructions belong to Clarity; missing guardrails belong to Coverage; human-facing wording belongs to Ergonomics.
  • Each finding must be grounded — name every location the duplication lives, or the exact machinery that is over-built.
  • Boundary with self-audit (critical for this lens):
    • Copies that disagree today → Contract/Docs-sync violation → defer: self-audit. NOT yours.
    • Copies that agree but should not both exist → yours: propose one owner + pointer. Nobody is wrong yet; you are removing future-drift risk.
    • A doc that omits/misnames a real skill → Docs-sync → defer: self-audit. A doc that duplicates content with a natural single owner → yours.
  • Some duplication is sanctioned. Before flagging duplication, check it is not deliberate. If CLAUDE.md or docs/contract.md declares a duplication intentional (e.g. a bash-layer precondition that must stand on its own, or the one-line ## Execution pointer being stamped verbatim into every task file by design), do NOT flag it — the one-line ## Execution pointer in particular is meant to be stamped into each artifact, because the platform auto-loads .task/CLAUDE.md only for file-read tools.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
