deflate

deflate is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local computer resource audit and adjustment workflow for reducing background work, heat, fan noise, and unnecessary power use. It first lists scheduled jobs, automatic starts, GPU users, power settings, and CPU load, then prepares possible changes for approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a laptop or other work node, identify tasks that could be stopped or run less often, and apply only the approved changes.
Why use it?
It makes hidden background activity visible and avoids changing machine settings without an operator approving each proposed action.

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

deflate 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 yesterday.

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 — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/deflate — меньше тепла и шума на этом узле, вместе с оператором

Движок: python ~/.claude/scripts/node_deflate.py (0 LLM, stdlib, win/mac/linux; --selftest есть). Суждение «нужно / не нужно» — у оператора, не у скрипта.

Шаг 0 — RECALL

Память laptop-fan-noise-root-cause + zbook-no-gpu-without-permission; роль узла из ~/.claude/machine.env (hub = роботы остаются, satellite = минимум фона, §7.1). Термо-история, если есть: ~/.claude/scripts/_power_thermal/*.csv.

Шаг 1 — Аудит (только чтение)

python ~/.claude/scripts/node_deflate.py audit → таблица: запусков/час, наши vs вендорские задачи, автозапуск, держатели GPU, режим питания, топ CPU. На HP-железе температуры и обороты вентиляторов читать HP-сенсором (Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\HP\InstrumentedBIOS -ClassName HP_BIOSNumericSensor), а НЕ nvidia-smi: он сам будит спящую карту.

Шаг 2 — План

python ~/.claude/scripts/node_deflate.py propose → ~/.claude/_deflate/<HOST>-plan.json, каждая строка ok=false. Правила движка: на сателлите наши сторожа чаще 60 мин → растянуть (Desktop-Watchdog 10, термо-логгер 15, Fleet Pulse 30); дубли хаба и мёртвые роботы → выключить; оверлей питания «Best performance» → Balanced; GPU=true на сателлите → заметка. Вендорские задачи скрипт НИКОГДА не предлагает.

Шаг 2-бис — ⛔ ДВЕ ЦИФРЫ ПЕРЕД ЛЮБОЙ РАСТЯЖКОЙ (замер 22.09.2026)

Строка плана, растягивающая интервал СТОРОЖА, не показывается оператору, пока не названы две цифры: (1) фора, которую сторож даёт основному звену, и (2) срок, за который потребитель заметит пропажу. Новый интервал обязан быть меньше обеих; больше — строка из плана выбрасывается, а не «обсуждается». Не знаешь цифр — не трогаешь интервал.

⚠️ Чем оплачено: дефляция 15.09 («все рутины ×2») растянула Claude Voice Backstop 4ч → 8ч. Это 0-токенный детерминированный сторож с форой боту 10 минут, подпадавший под собственное исключение той же дефляции — его срезали по имени («ещё одна запланированная задача»), а не по роли. 22.09 бот-расшифровщик пропустил голосовую Антона, страховка спала, state.json писал status=OK, и пропажу за 14 минут заметил ЧЕЛОВЕК. Нулевой расход LLM = кандидат в исключения по умолчанию, а не в первые жертвы.

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.

deflate is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,634 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-24.
