Enforces token quota management at session start with conservation and compression checks. Use at the start of every session or before large context loads.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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** …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/token-conservation@sha256:3f268aaade30e2d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.76a539b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
