context-budget

context-budget is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Audits Gemini CLI context window consumption across agents, skills, MCP servers, and rules. Identifies bloat, redundant components, and produces prioritized token-savings recommendations.

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

context-budget 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 today.

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.

Context Budget

Analyze token overhead across every loaded component in a Gemini CLI session and surface actionable optimizations to reclaim context space.

When to Use

  • Session performance feels sluggish or output quality is degrading
  • You've recently added many skills, agents, or MCP servers
  • You want to know how much context headroom you actually have
  • Planning to add more components and need to know if there's room
  • Running /egc-context-budget command (this skill backs it)

How It Works

Phase 1: Inventory

Scan all component directories and estimate token consumption:

Agents (agents/*.md)

  • Count lines and tokens per file (words × 1.3)
  • Extract description frontmatter length
  • Flag: files >200 lines (heavy), description >30 words (bloated frontmatter)

Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md)

  • Count tokens per SKILL.md
  • Flag: files >400 lines
  • Check for duplicate copies in .agents/skills/ — skip identical copies to avoid double-counting

Rules (rules/**/*.md)

  • Count tokens per file
  • Flag: files >100 lines
  • Detect content overlap between rule files in the same language module

MCP Servers (.mcp.json or active MCP config)

  • Count configured servers and total tool count
  • Estimate schema overhead at ~500 tokens per tool
  • Flag: servers with >20 tools, servers that wrap simple CLI commands (gh, git, npm, supabase, vercel)

GEMINI.md (project + user-level)

  • Count tokens per file in the GEMINI.md chain
  • Flag: combined total >300 lines

Phase 2: Classify

Sort every component into a bucket:

Bucket Criteria Action
Always needed Referenced in GEMINI.md, backs an active command, or matches current project type Keep
Sometimes needed Domain-specific (e.g. language patterns), not referenced in GEMINI.md Consider on-demand activation
Rarely needed No command reference, overlapping content, or no obvious project match Remove or lazy-load

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.

context-budget is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jamkris/everything-gemini-code (87 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,305 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 2026-09-03.
