1c-ssl-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/context-optimization/SKILL.md

context-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from brake71/1c-ssl-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (3,115 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of context-optimization, MIT.

A set of techniques for fitting useful information into a model's limited context window while reducing token use. It includes budgeting, hiding or referencing verbose tool output, caching repeated context, narrowing retrieval, and dividing context between agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set context budgets, reduce token costs, improve reuse of repeated context, scope document retrieval, and extend the effective capacity of agent systems.
Why use it?
Large prompts can cost more, exceed context limits, or include irrelevant information that harms results. These techniques aim to keep the information that matters while using less space and computation.

This is brake71/1c-ssl-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on 1c-ssl-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything 1c-ssl-skills configures →

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-optimization 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 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/compaction.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Context Optimization Techniques

Context optimization extends the effective capacity of limited context windows through strategic compression, masking, caching, and partitioning. Effective optimization increases useful capacity without requiring larger models or longer windows — but only when applied with measurement discipline. The techniques below are ordered by impact and risk.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when:

  • Context budgets or token costs constrain task complexity
  • Observation masking can replace verbose tool outputs with retrievable references
  • Prefix or KV-cache hit rate needs improvement
  • Retrieval scoping can reduce irrelevant loaded context
  • Context partitioning can extend effective capacity across agents
  • Budget triggers are needed for masking, compaction, or partitioning

Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills:

  • Explaining why attention or context windows behave this way: context-fundamentals.
  • Diagnosing active lost-in-middle, poisoning, distraction, confusion, or clash: context-degradation.
  • Designing a structured handoff summary for a long conversation: context-compression.
  • Storing large outputs, plans, or logs as files: filesystem-context.
  • Model-initiated rewrites of its own context and their re-prefill cost: self-managed-context.

Core Concepts

Apply four primary strategies in this priority order:

  1. KV-cache optimization — Reorder and stabilize prompt structure so the inference engine reuses cached Key/Value tensors. This is the cheapest optimization when the runtime supports prefix caching: low quality risk, immediate cost and latency savings. Apply it first when stable prefixes exist.

  2. Observation masking — Replace verbose tool outputs with compact references once their purpose has been served. Tool outputs can dominate agent trajectories (claim-context-optimization-tool-output-dominance), so masking often yields the largest capacity gains. The original content remains retrievable if needed downstream.

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.
