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 | $0.00092 | $0.00711 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00356 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
weigh-in 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 10d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Weigh-In
The scale for your agent. skill-diet finds what to cut; weigh-in tells you what you weigh, before the cut and after it. Step on the scale first, cut, step on it again.
Method
- Measure the always-on bill exactly as skill-diet does: installed skills (frontmatter name plus description each), memory files loaded at session start (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, local variants, imports), MCP tool schemas (eager-loaded only; a server you cannot enumerate is unknown, never zero).
- Rough tokens for English markdown: characters / 3 on Claude models with the Opus 4.7 tokenizer (Opus 4.7+, Sonnet 5, Fable 5), characters / 3.5 to 4 on older Claude and GPT-style tokenizers. Label estimates.
- Read the last card from
.cutweight/weigh-ins.mdif it exists. Compute the delta. - Print the card. Append it to the log. Never edit old cards.
Weight Classes
Cutweight's own scale, by always-on tokens per message:
| class | always-on |
|---|---|
| flyweight | under 1,000 |
| lightweight | under 3,000 |
| middleweight | under 8,000 |
| heavyweight | under 20,000 |
| superheavyweight | 20,000 and up |
The Card
cutweight weigh-in: 2026-07-10
always-on: 7,412 tokens on every message
skills: 3,509 (27 installed)
memory files: 3,903
mcp schemas: ~0 (deferred loading)
class: middleweight
last weigh-in: 9,180 (-19%, was heavyweight)
next cut: the 25-skill plugin billing 2,462 for 4 skills used
Keep the card under 12 lines. It is made to be posted.
Hard Rules
- The log is append-only. A rewritten history is not a weigh-in.
- Measured or labeled-estimate numbers only.
- The card always names the single next cut, or says "at weight" if lean.
- Never name an agent-maintained memory file (auto-memory index, session memory) as the next cut. Bill it on the card, flag it to its owner. Its lines are the agent's retrieval keys; hand-trimming them breaks recall.
- A card meant for posting shows counts and categories, never private tool, server, or plugin names. Generalize anything internal before it leaves the machine.
- Keep
.cutweight/out of version control; the log stays on the machine. - Weigh-in changes nothing but its own log. The human does the cutting.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

weigh-in is a skill published in the GitHub repository brenbuilds1/cutweight (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 711 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
