cco-patterns

cco-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer. It costs 39 tokens per session (576 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A sharing tool for project-specific file-use patterns learned by coding agents. It exports an anonymized file list and usage counts so another developer’s checkout can start with the same learned context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to export a checked project digest, commit it for teammates, and import a teammate’s digest into another checkout.
Why use it?
A new checkout otherwise has to rediscover which files are useful, wasteful, or commonly edited together. Sharing the digest reduces that repeated learning while excluding file contents and absolute paths.

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

cco-patterns 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 5d 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.

CCO Patterns — share what the project has learned

Patterns are learned per-machine, per-project: which files are usually waste, which are usually useful, which get edited together. A teammate's fresh clone starts blind and re-learns the same lessons by wasting the same tokens.

This makes them portable. Run from the plugin root (the directory containing src/patterns-share.js).

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

export

node src/patterns-share.js export

Writes .cco/patterns.digest.json in the project (override with --out).

The digest contains relative paths and counts only — no file contents, no absolute paths, no home directory. Entries that can't be expressed relative to the project root are dropped, and the command reports how many. The file is audited before writing; if anything identifying slipped in, it refuses to write rather than produce a file someone might commit.

Tell the user the digest is safe to commit, and that committing it is the point: teammates get it on clone.

import <file>

node src/patterns-share.js import .cco/patterns.digest.json

Merges into the current project's patterns. Imported data is stored as a separate prior — it never touches the user's own counts.

This matters and is worth saying out loud: confidence is computed from how many sessions this machine observed a file in. Folding someone else's sessions into that number would make the user's own confidence a lie. So the import fills in only where the user has no observations of their own — the fresh-clone case — and local evidence always wins.

The digest is audited on the way in too, since it came from elsewhere. A file with absolute paths or traversal segments is rejected, not sanitized.

show

node src/patterns-share.js show

Lists what was imported for this project and how each file is labelled.

Suggesting this

Worth offering when:

  • The user is setting up a repo for a team and asks about onboarding cost.
  • A project has meaningful waste history (/cco-shield shows repeat offenders) that every teammate will otherwise rediscover.
  • Someone just cloned a repo that already has .cco/patterns.digest.json — offer to import it.

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.

cco-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer (104 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 576 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
