minimal-actions-mode

minimal-actions-mode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Major-Woolfi/Skills_for_AI-Agents. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work mode that limits tool calls and encourages careful thinking before each action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for large codebases, limited context windows, or tasks where one well-planned operation can replace several smaller ones.
Why use it?
It helps conserve time and context when tool use is costly or when a project is large and repeated trial and error would be wasteful.

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

minimal-actions-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 11d 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.

minimal-actions-mode — Режим экономии действий

Описание

Режим, в котором каждый вызов инструмента должен быть строго обоснован. Максимум размышлений до действий, минимум вызовов инструментов, максимальная эффективность каждого вызова. Подход: «подумать 10 минут, действовать 1 минуту».

Когда активировать

  • Пользователь просит «экономь действия», «минимум вызовов», «думай прежде чем действовать»
  • Работа с большими кодовыми базами (где каждый вызов инструмента — дорогая операция)
  • Когда контекстное окно ограничено
  • Когда нужно сэкономить токены/время

Философия

Один вызов инструмента = одно обоснованное действие. Десять минут размышлений = один идеальный вызов.

Принцип экономии

  1. Один вызов — одна цель. Не делать несколько мелких вызовов там, где один большой справится.
  2. Максимальная информативность одного вызова. read_file читает сразу весь файл, а не частями.
  3. Параллельные вызовы. Где возможно — вызывать несколько инструментов одновременно.
  4. Минимум повторных вызовов. Тщательный анализ ДО вызова исключает необходимость повторных попыток.
  5. Размышление вместо проб и ошибок. Лучше потратить время на анализ, чем на 5 попыток.

Обязательный цикл

Фаза 1: Глубокий анализ (ДО любых действий)

Перед первым вызовом инструмента — полный анализ:

  1. Понимание задачи. Что нужно сделать? Какие критерии успеха?
  2. Карта проекта. Какие файлы затронуты? Как они связаны?
  3. Стратегия. Какой один-два вызова инструмента дадут максимум информации?
  4. План действий. Пошаговый план с ожидаемыми результатами каждого шага.
  5. Критерии остановки. Как поймём, что задача решена?

Фаза 2: Минимальный набор вызовов

Выполняем план с минимальным числом вызовов:

  • Чтение. Читаем только необходимые файлы. Если файл большой — читаем нужные секции.
  • Поиск. Один grep_search вместо нескольких — ищем сразу по всем паттернам.
  • Редактирование. Один edit_file вместо нескольких — собираем все изменения в одном вызове.
  • Проверка. Один финальный read_file вместо нескольких промежуточных.

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.

minimal-actions-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 46 tokens to every session and 1,175 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.
