Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00055 | $0.02524 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01262 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00505 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00252 |
Grade A, and why
context-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 9d 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.

Context Optimization
Context optimization is the process of refining the raw context assembled for an AI model so that every token contributes meaningfully to the task. In a typical RAG or agent pipeline, the retrieved context often contains redundant passages, marginally relevant chunks, and poorly ordered information. Optimization transforms this raw material into a lean, high-signal context block that improves answer quality, reduces inference cost, and makes the most of the model's attention budget.
Workflow
-
Audit the Raw Context: Inventory every piece of context that has been gathered -- retrieved documents, conversation history, tool outputs, and metadata. Measure the total token count and compare it against the available context budget. Identify the compression ratio needed if the raw context exceeds the budget.
-
Deduplicate Overlapping Content: Scan the context for near-duplicate passages that convey the same information. This is common in RAG pipelines where chunking with overlap produces multiple chunks covering the same paragraph, or when multiple source documents repeat the same facts. Use semantic similarity (cosine distance > 0.92) or exact n-gram overlap detection to identify duplicates, then keep only the most complete version of each piece of information.
-
Score Relevance and Information Density: Assign each context chunk two scores: a relevance score (how closely it relates to the current query) and an information density score (how many useful facts it conveys per token). Relevance can be measured via the retrieval score or a lightweight cross-encoder pass. Density can be estimated by counting named entities, code identifiers, numerical data, and key terms relative to chunk length. Multiply the two scores to produce a composite utility score.
-
Filter Low-Value Content: Remove chunks whose composite utility score falls below a threshold. A good starting point is to keep the top 60-70% of chunks by utility score. Also remove boilerplate text (copyright notices, navigation menus, repeated headers) that contributes zero information. Be conservative -- it is better to include a marginally relevant chunk than to lose a critical fact.
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.

context-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills (176 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 2,524 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
