smart-loader

smart-loader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer. It costs 43 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper that suggests files to preload for a new task using the task description and patterns from earlier sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a bug fix, feature, refactor or review to find matching templates, recommended files and files to skip.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork about which project files are relevant and can point out files that were repeatedly unused.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

smart-loader 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.

What it actually says

Smart Context Loader

When a user starts a new task or asks to work on something, check if there are historical patterns that suggest which files they'll need.

When to Activate

  • User describes a new task (bug fix, feature, refactor, review)
  • User says "let's work on..." or "I need to fix..."
  • Session just started and user is describing what they want to do
  • User asks "what files do I need for this?"

How to Use

  1. Check for existing templates matching the task type:
ls ~/.claude-context-optimizer/templates/ 2>/dev/null
  1. Check historical patterns for the current directory:
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/tracker.js suggest "$(pwd)"
  1. Based on the task description and historical data:
    • If a matching template exists, mention it: "I see you have a '{name}' template. Want me to load that context?"
    • If historical patterns suggest files, mention: "Based on previous sessions, you usually need these files for this type of task: ..."
    • If patterns show files to avoid, mention: "Tip: [file] has been consistently unused in past sessions — I'll skip it."
    • If nothing matches, proceed normally

Auto-Optimization Tips

When you detect patterns that waste tokens, proactively suggest improvements:

  • If a large file (300+ lines) is being read fully: "I'll use offset/limit to read only the relevant section"
  • If a file was wasted in 2+ past sessions: skip it silently or mention why
  • If the user's task matches a known template: offer to apply it

Important

  • Do NOT automatically read files without user confirmation
  • Only SUGGEST, don't force context loading
  • Keep suggestions brief (top 3-5 files max)
  • If no tracking data exists yet, skip silently — don't mention the optimizer
  • Be helpful, not annoying — max 1 suggestion per task start

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.
