headroom skillA
headroom is agent-read markdown (skill) from akillness/jeo-skills: Install, configure, and operate Headroom, the local-first context optimization layer for coding agents. Use when the user needs proxy-level compression, Headroom MCP tools, persistent Claude/Codex/OpenCode routing, or a code-work policy that combines Headroom health with Graphify preflight and context-aware Ponytail minimization. Triggers on: headroom, headroom proxy, headroom deploy, headroom wrap, headroom mcp, headroom doctor, context compression, token savings, context budget, or Headroom co.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Headroom Headroom is the transport layer: it compresses fresh tool output and new turns before they reach the model. It is not a replacement for source navigation, code review, or a model's actual context-meter. ## When to use this skill - Install or update Headroom's CLI, proxy, persistent deployment, wrapper, or MCP server. - Verify whether an agent is actually routed through a healthy Headroom proxy. - Configure the code-work policy: Graphify preflight before source mutation and Ponytail minimization only once an authoritative host context percentage reaches 60. - Diagnose provider routing, proxy health, token savings, or a failed deployment. ## When not to use this skill - The task is source or symbol discovery without compression concerns → use `graphify` or `codebase-search`. - The task needs a code-size reduction review without a context policy → use `ponytail`. - The task is generic agent configuration ownership → use `agent-configuration`. ## Installation and persistent routing Use the smallest upstream extra set that supports proxy, MCP, and code-aware compression. On macOS Apple Silicon and Linux, isolate it with `uv`: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/headroom@git:20260901.2b2e424mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/headroom@sha256:f2c620192f6b8e4fPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
