compiler-optimizer

compiler-optimizer is a skill for Claude Code from zaryab2000/decipher-gas-optimizoor. It costs 113 tokens per session (1,944 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review skill for tuning compiler settings in a Foundry Solidity project. The Solidity compiler turns contract code into EVM code, and settings such as optimizer runs and `via_ir` affect the resulting code's size and gas use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing `foundry.toml`, checking Solidity pragmas, preparing a contract for deployment, or investigating unexpectedly high gas reports.
Why use it?
It finds configuration choices that may produce unnecessary deployment or transaction costs. It also checks whether the project uses an appropriate Solidity compiler version and notes cases where optimization is intentionally disabled.

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

compiler-optimizer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 207 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Identify misconfigured or absent Solidity compiler optimizer settings in foundry.toml and pragma declarations. Mismatched optimizer_runs, missing via_ir, and outdated compiler versions are free gas savings requiring only configuration changes.

When to Use

  • Writing or reviewing foundry.toml
  • Starting a new Foundry project
  • Pre-deployment audit of build configuration
  • After reviewing pragma versions in .sol files
  • When forge test --gas-report shows unexpectedly high gas costs

When NOT to Use

  • Non-Foundry projects (Hardhat, Truffle): configuration format differs
  • When optimizer is intentionally disabled for faster test iteration (flag for production build profile, not dev profile)
  • When the project has recently passed a security audit on a specific version and re-audit is not feasible

Platform Detection

Trigger fires when:

  • foundry.toml is present in the project root, or
  • A pragma solidity declaration is being reviewed in a .sol file

Read foundry.toml with the Read tool. Use Bash to run forge build --sizes or forge test --gas-report when measurements are needed to quantify savings.

Quick Reference

optimizer_runs by contract type

Contract type Recommended optimizer_runs Reason
DeFi hot path (AMM, lending, swap router) 1_000_000 Runtime savings outweigh bytecode size
Factory / deployer contract 1 Minimize deployment cost; called rarely
General purpose (default) 200 Balanced — Foundry default
Library deployed once, called by many 1_000_000 Amortized deployment cost is negligible

All profiles should have optimizer = true. Never deploy with optimizer disabled.

via_ir

Condition Recommendation
Complex DeFi contract (tight loops, heavy structs, multi-call) via_ir = true
Simple contract (< 5 functions, minimal logic) optional
Rapid development iteration via_ir = false (5–50× slower to compile)
Production build profile via_ir = true always recommended

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.
