token-save

token-save is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joseph27/claude-code-token-save. It costs 61 tokens per session (602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setting that switches agent skills between higher-cost and lower-cost language models. It can be turned on, turned off, or queried for its current routing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps toggle the setting, view which model tier each skill uses, and inspect the default routing for unlisted skills.
Why use it?
It lets users trade model cost for capability across different skills without changing each skill separately.

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

token-save 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 1mo 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Token-Save Mode

What to Do

  1. Read current state from ~/.claude/token-save-mode (if file doesn't exist, default is off)
  2. Read routing config from ~/.claude/token-save-routing.json
  3. Determine action based on argument:
    • /token-save on → set to on
    • /token-save off → set to off
    • /token-save (no arg) → toggle current state
    • /token-save status → show current state + routing summary, don't toggle
    • /token-save routing → show full routing table with all skills per tier
  4. Write new state to ~/.claude/token-save-mode (skip for status/routing)
  5. Report the change to the user

Output Format

After toggling, read ~/.claude/token-save-routing.json and display:

Token-Save Mode: [ON/OFF]

[If ON:]
Model routing active (from ~/.claude/token-save-routing.json):
  Opus (max quality)  → [list skills from opus tier]
  Sonnet (balanced)   → [list skills from sonnet tier]
  Haiku (cheapest)    → [list skills from haiku tier]
  Default for unlisted skills: [default_when_on value]

Enforcement: CLAUDE.md global rule applies to ALL Agent() calls.

[If OFF:]
All skills use Opus (default behavior). Maximum quality, maximum cost.

Routing Config Location

~/.claude/token-save-routing.json — this is the single source of truth for tier assignments.

Enforcement Layer

The enforcement lives in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md under "Token-Save Mode (Agent Model Routing)". It instructs Claude to:

  1. Check ~/.claude/token-save-mode before every Agent call
  2. Look up the skill/task in the routing config
  3. Apply the tier's model, or default_when_on if unlisted

Skills do NOT need their own token-save logic — the global CLAUDE.md rule handles it.

Moving a Skill Between Tiers

If the user asks to change a skill's tier (e.g., "move brainstorming to opus"), edit ~/.claude/token-save-routing.json directly:

  1. Remove the skill from its current tier's array
  2. Add it to the target tier's array
  3. Confirm the change

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.
