context-budget

context-budget is a command for coding agents from sifxprime/kodelyth-ecc. It costs 15 tokens per session (149 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A legacy command that forwards to a context-budget skill, which reviews how much conversation space a task uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a task's context usage and receive a prioritized report of possible savings.
Why use it?
It helps identify unnecessary context and rank possible ways to reduce it during a long coding session.

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

context-budget 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 yesterday.

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

Context Budget Optimizer (Legacy Shim)

Use this only if you still invoke /context-budget. The maintained workflow lives in skills/context-budget/SKILL.md.

Canonical Surface

  • Prefer the context-budget skill directly.
  • Keep this file only as a compatibility entry point.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Delegation

Apply the context-budget skill.

  • Pass through --verbose if the user supplied it.
  • Assume a 200K context window unless the user specified otherwise.
  • Return the skill's inventory, issue detection, and prioritized savings report without re-implementing the scan here.
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.
