cuts

cuts is a command for Claude Code from josefslerka/study-kit. It costs 11 tokens per session (122 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review command for finding unnecessary writing in a study, such as decorative wording, repeated explanations, defensive passages, or digressions. It reports specific places and estimates how much text could be removed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review text in the study directory, identify five kinds of surplus, record the findings in process/cuts.md, log the work, and propose a review.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish removable padding from interpretive development, so editing can make the work shorter without cutting reasoning that adds meaning or addresses objections.

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

cuts 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Run phase 4.2 per CLAUDE.md.

Find 5 kinds of surplus text (decorative, defensive, rehearsal, encyclopedic, lost digressions) with reference to specific places. Estimate the % cuttable. After the human approves, make the cuts in study/. DON'T cut interpretive development (depth that turns the quote, defines what it doesn't mean, pre-empts an objection) — only padding. Write process/cuts.md, log it, propose /review.

Changes

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.
