token-conservation skillA
token-conservation is agent-read markdown (skill) from athola/claude-night-market: Enforces token quota management at session start with conservation and compression checks. Use at the start of every session or before large context loads..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Token Conservation Workflow ## When To Use - Run at the start of every session and whenever prompt sizes or tool calls begin to spike. - Mandatory before launching long-running analyses, wide diffs, or massive context loads. ## When NOT To Use - Context-optimization already handles the scenario - Simple queries with minimal context ## Required TodoWrite Items 1. `token-conservation:quota-check` 2. `token-conservation:context-plan` 3. `token-conservation:delegation-check` 4. `token-conservation:compression-review` 5. `token-conservation:logging` ## Step 1 – Quota Check (`quota-check`) - Record current session duration and weekly usage (from `/status` or notebook). Note the 5-hour rolling cap and weekly cap highlighted in the Claude community notice. - Capture remaining budget and set a max token target for this task. ## Step 2 – Context Plan (`context-plan`) - **Set a discovery read budget BEFORE reading any files.** Count each `Read` call and each content-mode `Grep` as one read. Glob and files-with-matches Grep are free. - Implement from spec/requirements: **max 8 reads** - Bug fix at known location: **max 5 reads** …

mdr add athola/claude-night-market/token-conservation@git:20260902.d04952cmdr add athola/claude-night-market/token-conservation@sha256:2ec0f340eb9c1228Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
