Cut Claude Code token use. Audit reads your local transcripts and shows where tokens go (idle cache rewrites, context size, polling, Opus agents). Apply is a one-screen settings choice that merges a few documented keys into ~/.claude/settings.json and adds agent working rules to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Use for /k-tokens, "audit my token use", "why is my usage so high", "cheaper agents", "subagent cache TTL", or "auto-compact window".
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
# K-tokens
!`node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/k-tokens.js" status`
The table above came from the k-tokens script, which ran before you read this skill. It shows the current values next to the recommended ones. Do not edit `~/.claude/settings.json` or `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` yourself. Only the apply script writes them.
Pick the mode from the argument. With no argument, show the table and ask which mode: `Audit`, `Apply`.
- `status`: show the table and stop. If it starts with `k-tokens error:`, say that line and stop.
- `audit`: go to Audit.
- `apply`: go to Apply.
## Audit
Run the audit script with the user's flags. It reads `~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl` on this machine and sends nothing anywhere. On a large history it can take half a minute.
```
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/k-tokens-audit.js" [--days N] [--project <substring>] [--json]
```
Show the report as printed, then restate the "What to change" section in your own words, most valuable first. Offer to run Apply for the settings it names. Do not read the transcripts yourself.
Notes for reading the report:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add kasempiternal/k-stack/k-tokens@sha256:c7c5b1ff72b87514The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.52dd772, 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.
