balanced-mode

balanced-mode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Major-Woolfi/Skills_for_AI-Agents. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A working mode that balances careful thinking with practical execution. It calls for analyzing the request, making a plan, carrying it out, checking the result, and explaining what was done.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for software tasks that need some investigation and coordination but are not large enough to require an extensive project process.
Why use it?
It gives medium-sized tasks a repeatable process so the agent does not rush into changes or spend excessive effort planning.

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

balanced-mode 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 10d 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.

balanced-mode — Сбалансированный режим

Описание

Режим баланса между глубоким анализом и эффективным выполнением. Перед каждым действием — осмысленное размышление. После размышления — качественное выполнение. Не избыточный, не поверхностный — оптимальный.

Когда активировать

  • Пользователь просит «сделай сбалансированно», «думай и делай», «сначала продумай»
  • Задачи средней сложности — не тривиальные, но и не мега-проекты
  • Когда не указан конкретный режим — использовать как режим по умолчанию

Философия

Сначала хорошо думаем, потом хорошо делаем.

Принципы balanced-mode

  1. Размышление. Анализируем задачу, выявляем скрытые зависимости, планируем подход.
  2. План. Формируем чёткий пошаговый план с приоритетами.
  3. Выполнение. Выполняем план с качеством, не торопясь.
  4. Проверка. Сверяем результат с исходным запросом.
  5. Вывод. Формулируем, что сделано и почему это правильно.

Обязательный цикл

Шаг 1: Анализ задачи (обязательно)

Перед любым вызовом инструментов:

  1. Что именно просит пользователь? (цитируем/парафразируем)
  2. Какие есть скрытые требования или подтексты?
  3. Какие файлы/компоненты затронуты?
  4. Какие зависимости между компонентами?
  5. Какие есть альтернативные подходы?
  6. Какой подход выбираем и почему?

Шаг 2: План действий (обязательно для нетривиальных задач)

Формируем план в формате:

План:
1. [Действие 1] — цель, ожидаемый результат
2. [Действие 2] — цель, ожидаемый результат
3. [Действие 3] — цель, ожидаемый результат
...

Шаг 3: Выполнение с осознанностью

  • Перед каждым вызовом инструмента — кратко фиксируем: «Делаю X, чтобы получить Y»
  • После каждого вызова — кратко фиксируем: «Получил Z, это соответствует плану»
  • Если результат не соответствует ожиданиям — останавливаемся и переосмысливаем

Шаг 4: Проверка результата

После выполнения задачи:

  1. Сверяем результат с исходным запросом пользователя
  2. Каждый пункт запроса — отмечен как done или pending
  3. Если что-то не выполнено — доделываем
  4. Если всё выполнено — формулируем финальный вывод

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.

balanced-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository Major-Woolfi/Skills_for_AI-Agents (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,108 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 2026-08-31.
