principle-laziness-protocol

principle-laziness-protocol is a skill for Claude Code from chhoumann/t3-pstack. It costs 42 tokens per session (124 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A refactoring guideline for making the smallest change that solves the problem and keeping each decision in one source of truth. It favors deletion over extra layers or repeated configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing a proposed change, removing unnecessary abstractions, or deciding whether a new flag, layer, or repeated choice is needed.
Why use it?
It limits diff size and avoids boilerplate, duplicated decisions, and abstractions that add code without removing complexity.

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

principle-laziness-protocol 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

Laziness Protocol

  • Consolidate decisions. Do not repeat the same choice in several places. Put it behind one source of truth and pass the result as a simple flag.
  • Minimize the diff. Make the smallest change that solves the problem. Fewer lines beat "elegant" boilerplate.
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.
