fleet-efficiency

fleet-efficiency is a skill for Claude Code from kelp/agent-plugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,117 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for running several coding agents efficiently, including rules for sharing context, choosing model tiers, and passing work between stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before parallel audits, migrations, or multi-stage work across many files to partition tasks, give agents focused briefs, and pass structured results forward.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated file reading, duplicated investigation, and unnecessary token use when many agents work in parallel.

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

fleet-efficiency 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 — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fleet Efficiency (delegation rules, context handoff)

Any dispatch (one agent or many)

  • Delegate work that is large and independent. Anything you can finish in a handful of tool calls, do inline. Never spawn an agent to double-check your own work.
  • Pick the most specific agent type before falling back to general-purpose.
  • Run independent subagents in parallel: one message, multiple Agent calls.
  • Run subagents in the background and keep working. For a follow-up, continue a long-lived agent via SendMessage instead of spawning a fresh one.
  • Brief the agent like a colleague who just walked in: goal, context, what has been ruled out, expected output shape, and a length cap if you want one.
  • Verify what the agent did; never trust the summary blind.
  • Forks (subagent_type: "fork") always run on the parent model; model overrides are ignored.

Fleets (3+ agents, Workflows, audits, migrations)

When fanning out many agents (audits, migrations, multi-stage pipelines), the token bill lives in the subagents, not the main thread. Rules:

  • Scout once, brief many. The orchestrator (or one scout agent) builds the repo map / file partition ONCE; every worker gets an explicit file list scoped to its task. Never let N agents each rediscover the repo.
  • Shared preamble, identical bytes. Put the shared brief (architecture nutshell, conventions, rubric) as a byte-identical block at the TOP of every fleet prompt, per-agent task at the BOTTOM. Identical prefixes hit the prompt cache across the whole fleet; a reordered or reworded brief pays full price N times.
  • Excerpt, don't point. Paste the ten relevant lines into the prompt instead of "read CLAUDE.md first". A 9k-token doc read by 150 agents is >1M tokens. If a project has a condensed agent brief (e.g. docs/agent-brief.md), paste that.
  • Hand artifacts forward. Every pipeline stage returns structured output (schema) carrying exactly what the next stage needs: code excerpts, file:line, diffs, commands run. A downstream agent re-reads source only when its JOB is to distrust the upstream one (adversarial verification); formatters, dedupers, and drafters should need zero file reads.
  • Continue, don't respawn. For fix loops on the same artifact, SendMessage the original agent; its context is intact. Inside Workflow scripts (no continuation), include the prior diff and the reviewer's issue list in the fresh agent's prompt so it doesn't re-derive them.
  • Keep fleet prompts byte-stable. No timestamps, run ids, or other volatile values inside prompts; they bust Workflow resume caching and cross-agent prompt caching. Pass volatile values via args and reference them once.
  • Don't optimize away independence. Verifiers re-reading the code their finder cited is intentional redundancy; cut the briefing waste, not the adversarial checks.

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.

fleet-efficiency is a skill published in the GitHub repository kelp/agent-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,117 tokens. 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.
