capability-aware-offload-skipping

capability-aware-offload-skipping is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 28 tokens per session (388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision rule for result-saving tools that checks whether each tool already limits its own output or could create a loop if wrapped again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when applying a shared result-saving or preview layer to many tools, especially when some tools have their own output limits.
Why use it?
It prevents duplicate processing and circular readback loops while keeping result handling consistent across repeated interactions.

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

capability-aware-offload-skipping 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.

What it actually says

SKILL: Capability-Aware Offload Skipping

Domain: tool-result-storage Trigger: Use when a generic result-offload layer wraps many tools, but some tools already enforce their own output bounds or would recurse if wrapped again. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed output-budget enforcement and selective offload-policy implementations.

Core Method

Before applying a generic persistence or preview wrapper, inspect each tool's declared behavior and opt out the tools whose own contract already bounds output or would create a circular readback loop. Treat the skip as a stable policy decision rather than a one-off exception so identical tools keep the same behavior across turns. This preserves the generic offload path where it adds value while avoiding redundant or self-referential wrapping.

Key Rules

  • Check declared limits and self-bounded reader behavior before applying a generic offload layer.
  • Keep the skip decision stable across turns so identical tool results do not oscillate between wrapped and unwrapped behavior.
  • Mark skipped results consistently when broader budgeting logic depends on deterministic treatment across turns.
  • Prefer tool-specific contracts over wrapper-level force when the wrapper would just reintroduce the same content through another tool.

Example Application

If a read-style tool already caps output aggressively, exclude it from a generic file-offload wrapper; otherwise the wrapper would persist bounded content and ask the model to read it back through the same tool, adding complexity with no real gain.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Do not wrap every tool uniformly just because a generic offload helper exists; some tools already solve the problem locally.
  • Do not let skip decisions fluctuate between turns, or identical tool results will produce inconsistent prompt prefixes and cache behavior.
