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…
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
# 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@sha256:f2c620192f6b8e4fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.2b2e424, 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.
