Switch Occam token-economy mode (full, lite, off) for this session.

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

The Occam rules live in rules.md next to this file and are injected at session start (default level: $OCCAM_LEVEL, else full).

- `full`: follow every section of rules.md.
- `lite`: follow Work lean, Talk less and Never cut; build as usual.
- `off`: ignore the Occam rules until switched on again.

Apply the requested level for the rest of this session and confirm in one line. If rules.md is not in your context yet, Read it first. Without an argument, state the current level in one line.

Default for new sessions: `"env": {"OCCAM_LEVEL": "lite"}` in ~/.claude/settings.json.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add quisbaum-prog/occam/occam@sha256:5ea3af7946923fcf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.68dba80, 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.
