Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.01470 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00588 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00147 |
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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to context-budget — 62 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Context Budget
Analyze token overhead across every loaded component in a Claude Code session and surface actionable optimizations to reclaim context space.
When to Use
- Session performance feels sluggish or output quality is degrading
- You've recently added many skills, agents, or MCP servers
- You want to know how much context headroom you actually have
- Planning to add more components and need to know if there's room
- Running
/context-budgetcommand (this skill backs it)
How It Works
Phase 1: Inventory
Scan all component directories and estimate token consumption:
Agents (agents/*.md)
- Count lines and tokens per file (words × 1.3)
- Extract
descriptionfrontmatter length - Flag: files >200 lines (heavy), description >30 words (bloated frontmatter)
Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md)
- Count tokens per SKILL.md
- Flag: files >400 lines
- Check for duplicate copies in
.agents/skills/— skip identical copies to avoid double-counting
Rules (rules/**/*.md)
- Count tokens per file
- Flag: files >100 lines
- Detect content overlap between rule files in the same language module
MCP Servers (.mcp.json or active MCP config)
- Count configured servers and total tool count
- Estimate schema overhead at ~500 tokens per tool
- Flag: servers with >20 tools, servers that wrap simple CLI commands (
gh,git,npm,supabase,vercel)
CLAUDE.md (project + user-level)
- Count tokens per file in the CLAUDE.md chain
- Flag: combined total >300 lines
Phase 2: Classify
Sort every component into a bucket:
| Bucket | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Always needed | Referenced in CLAUDE.md, backs an active command, or matches current project type | Keep |
| Sometimes needed | Domain-specific (e.g. language patterns), not referenced in CLAUDE.md | Consider on-demand activation |
| Rarely needed | No command reference, overlapping content, or no obvious project match | Remove or lazy-load |
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.

context-budget is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndrewDongminYoo/cc-agents-kit (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,470 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to context-budget, differing in 62 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
resume
Write down where this stretch of work stopped, so the next session continues instead of restarting. Use at the end of a working session, or when handing the repository to someone else.
audit-context
Measures where a project's Claude context is going before applying any of clean-context's levers. Reports what Glob discovers with and without ignore files applied, the twenty largest files in the repo and which are generated, the cumulative size of every CLAUDE.md loaded for this working directory, and how many MCP…
capture
Write down a procedure worth keeping — a multi-step process, a trap that cost real time, or something that has now come up three times. Use it the moment you finish such a task, while the details are still exact.
fewword
Use this skill when tool outputs exceed 2000 tokens, tasks span multiple conversation turns, sub-agents need to share state, context window is bloating, plans need to persist across summarization, terminal/log output needs selective querying, or when user mentions "offload context", "dynamic context discovery"…
api-testing
HTTP API testing for TypeScript (Supertest) and Python (httpx, pytest). Test REST APIs, GraphQL, request/response validation, authentication, and error handling.
bun-jest-migration
Use when migrating from Jest to Bun's test runner, import compatibility, mocks, and config.
