Codex-native efficient tool workflow. Prefer Ashlr MCP read, grep, tree, bash, savings, and genome tools before native scans when they reduce context.
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
# Ashlr Codex Efficient Tools Use Ashlr MCP tools for high-volume context work: - Use `ashlr__orient` once before broad exploration when a genome exists. - Use `ashlr__grep` for search instead of repeated native scans. - Use `ashlr__tree` for compact directory maps. - Use `ashlr__read` for large files or files where only head/tail plus structure is needed. - Use `ashlr__bash` for verbose commands such as tests, typechecks, `git log`, and package installs. - Use `ashlr__savings` or `ashlr-plugin stats --json` to inspect token/cost savings. Keep native tools for tiny files, exact patch application, or commands where raw output is short and important.

How to install
mdr add ashlrai/ashlr-plugin/ashlr-codex-efficient-tools@sha256:a36705b513fb82c4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.b984bba, 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.
