Plan token and context usage before broad agent work. Use for repo-wide, research-heavy, multi-agent, documentation-heavy, or long-running tasks that need a context budget, source priority map, compaction handoff, and verification gates.

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

# Context Budget Planner

Use this skill before broad, long-running, or multi-source Codex work. The goal
is to keep useful capability while reducing wasted context.

## Output

Return:

1. Objective and completion evidence
2. Must-load context
3. Defer-until-needed context
4. Ignore or exclude list
5. Tool and source routing
6. Token-saving tactics
7. Compaction-safe handoff
8. Verification gates

## Reference Routing

Read `references/context-strategy.md` for broad repo work, research-heavy
tasks, multi-agent delegation, long command outputs, compaction handoffs,
surface-routing decisions, or token/context tradeoffs.

## Rules

- Preserve user constraints, approval gates, file paths, exact commands, and
  named artifacts.
- Prefer current files and command outputs over memory or guesses.
- Load indexes, manifests, catalogs, and summaries before full files when that
  still gives reliable evidence.
- Read a selected authoritative instruction file completely before acting on
  it.
- Do not paste huge logs into the main thread. Summarize the key lines and keep
  command names exact.
- Do not move secrets, tokens, auth files, session data, private memory, or
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ucsahinn/agentchef/context-budget-planner@sha256:b060e1a46822f789

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.dd10646, 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.
