resource-aware

resource-aware is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-skills. It costs 408 tokens per session (3,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pattern for making an AI agent consider its use of tokens, model calls, response time, quotas, and money while it works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose models by task difficulty, limit context or API calls, and manage costs and delays in production or batch jobs.
Why use it?
It helps keep workloads within cost, speed, token, and rate limits instead of using the most expensive approach for every task.

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

resource-aware 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 9d 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.

Resource-Aware Optimization Pattern

Overview

The Resource-Aware Optimization Pattern equips agents with awareness of the computational resources they consume — tokens, API calls, latency, and cost — and strategies to optimize their use. Rather than calling the most capable model for every request or retrieving maximum context every time, resource-aware agents make intelligent trade-offs to achieve goals within budget constraints.

Core Principle: Capability without efficiency is waste — match resource consumption to task requirements.

When This Skill Applies

Activate this pattern when:

  • API costs need to stay within budgets (production deployments at scale)
  • Latency requirements are strict (real-time user interactions)
  • Token limits constrain context window usage
  • Rate limits throttle request throughput
  • Different sub-tasks have vastly different complexity requirements
  • Long-running batch processes must manage resource consumption over time

Rule of thumb: If cost, latency, or quota is a constraint — build resource awareness in from the start, not as an afterthought.

Resource Dimensions

Resource Constraint Optimization Strategy
Tokens (input) Context window limit Summarize, truncate, selective retrieval
Tokens (output) Cost, latency Precise prompting, structured output
API calls Rate limits, cost Caching, batching, model selection
Latency User experience Async, streaming, parallel calls
Compute Server cost Efficient inference, model cascade

DEFINE → PLAN → ACTION Workflow

DEFINE

Map resource constraints:

  1. What are the token budget limits per session/task?
  2. What is the cost budget? (Per query, per day, per user)
  3. What are the latency requirements? (P50, P95, P99 targets)
  4. What rate limits apply? (Requests per minute, tokens per minute)
  5. Which sub-tasks are latency-sensitive vs. batch-OK?

PLAN

Design resource optimization architecture:

  1. Define model selection policy: capability vs. cost trade-off by task type
  2. Design caching strategy: what to cache, TTL, cache invalidation
  3. Plan context management: how to stay within token limits
  4. Design batching: group independent requests to amortize overhead
  5. Build monitoring: track resource usage against budgets in real-time

resource-aware is a skill published in the GitHub repository hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-skills (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 408 tokens to every session and 3,556 once invoked, about $0.0020 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.
