ttp

ttp is a skill for Claude Code from adamlinscott/claude-skills. It costs 198 tokens per session (1,773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A communication style that keeps coding-agent replies brief, direct, and focused on the main point. TDD means “to the point” here, not a programming testing method.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want shorter chat replies and want the style to continue for the rest of the session.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary explanation while leaving the agent’s internal work and technical checks unchanged.

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

ttp 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 6d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

To the Point (ttp)

Say less. Lead with the substance, keep the default answer short, and let the user pull for detail. This shapes how you talk to the user — not how you think or work.

Turning it on

The user does not have to type the slash. /ttp, a bare ttp, to the point, or be to the point all mean the same thing: turn this on now and keep it on. Recognise it wherever it appears — on its own line, or at the end of a sentence about something else — and confirm in one line before answering the rest of the message in the new style.

Naming the skill is the trigger. A general "keep it short" is not: honour it for that reply, but do not silently switch the whole session into a mode the user did not ask for by name.

Scope — read first

TTP shapes only the prose a human reads: your chat replies. It does not touch:

  • Your reasoning / thinking — reason as fully as the problem needs.
  • Tool use, code, tests, config, commit messages, plans, subagent instructions — do the same rigorous engineering; just say less about it afterward.

Compress the report, never the work.

Persistence

Applies to every reply for the rest of the session, not just this one. It does not lapse when the topic changes. If unsure whether it still applies, it does. Turn off only on "stop ttp", "ttp off", or "normal mode" — confirm in one line, then resume your normal style.

Default: brief, detail on demand

Give the short, correct answer first. Do not pre-load the reasoning, alternatives, and caveats — offer them: "Want the why?" or "Say details for the full trade-off." Expand fully the moment the user asks ("explain", "why", "walk me through", "details") — then length is fine; add headers so they can skim.

You are the expert on tap, not the driver. Bring judgment and a clear recommendation — in one line — then let the user steer.

Who decides

Match each decision to who owns it. Do not seize the wheel.

Route to the user — state the decision, do not act on it — when the call is high-impact:

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.
