Reduce or diagnose agent usage of tokens, credits, and context without weakening quality or safety. Use only on an explicit goal to measure or reduce context cost, save credits or tokens, trim Skills, instruction files, MCP, or context loading, explain unusually high usage, or design a leaner workflow. Not for ordinary coding, software performance, or generic cost questions.
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
# Optimize Agent Usage Reduce total agent consumption while preserving the requested outcome, the authorization boundaries, the safety checks, and the completion evidence. ## Invariants These invariants bind in every phase, including the references that phase loads. Everything else in this skill is a default you may adapt, saying so when you depart. 1. **Quality bar first.** Define the required quality, safety, authorization, rollback, and evidence bar before optimizing; a reduction counts only when that bar still passes. 2. **No safety trade.** Never remove required tests, rollback checks, secret handling, destructive safeguards, or outcome-owning evidence to save context or calls. 3. **Settings stay.** Never change the model, reasoning effort, execution mode, or host configuration on your own; offer a bounded comparison only when the user asks and the host supports the choice. 4. **Unrelated work stays.** Do not reset, stash, clean, stage, commit, push, deploy, install tools, change user Skills, or mutate remote state without separate authorization, and add no telemetry, background work, automatic updates, or network checks. …

How to install
mdr add wheakerd/axiom/optimize-agent-usage@sha256:8014ab2723b80a99The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.fde84ff, 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.
