scip-hyper-optimization

scip-hyper-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PlunderStruck/scip-query. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,498 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A measurement-led method for making commands, indexers, watchers, workflows, or services use less time, memory, or computation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to benchmark before and after changes, profile bottlenecks, compare cold and warm runs, and evaluate alternative designs.
Why use it?
It prevents performance changes from being judged by guesswork by keeping only changes that improve repeatable measurements without changing results.

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

scip-hyper-optimization 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 3d 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.

SCIP Hyper Optimization

This project-local skill restores the last standalone hyper-optimization method from commit bb02f016 and adapts its retired command names to the current scip-query interface.

Use it to make a command, indexer, watcher, workflow, or service faster without changing its observable result. A hyper-optimization campaign is a bounded engineering program that improves runtime, peak memory, or computational work against repeatable measurements. What distinguishes it from general refactoring is that measurements and output identity decide whether a change survives.

Choose the scale

  • QUICK — one target, one already-plausible hot operation, and one before/after measurement can settle the decision. Record the run in docs/benchmarks/runs/YYYY-MM-DD-<target>.jsonl; a separate ledger is optional.
  • CAMPAIGN — several targets, an unclear bottleneck, cold and warm paths that diverge, memory/runtime tradeoffs, or competing designs. Create the baseline, run history, ledger, profiles, and alternative-design track below.

If naming the operation to change requires investigation, use CAMPAIGN.

Essential terms

A measurement harness is a repeatable experimental setup: commands, fixtures or corpora, cache state, environment facts, and result records. Its defining trait is that another run can reproduce the state being compared.

A run history is a machine-readable measurement record with one row per command, subprocess, or profiled stage. Its defining trait is durability across code changes, so an improvement can be compared to the baseline that motivated it.

A profile span is one named and timed operation inside the target process, such as fingerprinting, compiler startup, conversion, validation, publishing, or cache loading. Its defining trait is that it assigns elapsed work and relevant cardinality to a particular part of the pipeline.

Hierarchical profiling is a bottleneck-localization method that times the whole pipeline, then subdivides only its dominant span. Its defining trait is progressive narrowing until the expensive operation is concrete enough to change.

Changes

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.

scip-hyper-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository PlunderStruck/scip-query (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,498 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.
