token-efficiency SKILL.md skillA

token-efficiency from rohitg00/pro-workflow is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add rohitg00/pro-workflow/token-efficiency@git:20260417.0b21f18

Pins git:20260417.0b21f18 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reduce token waste by 40-60% through anti-sycophancy rules, tool-call budgets, one-pass coding, task profiles, and read-before-write enforcement. Inspired by drona23/claude-token-efficient.

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

# Token Efficiency

Reduce output token waste and prevent iteration cycles that consume context.

## Trigger

Use when:
- Sessions feel expensive or slow
- Output is verbose with filler text
- Claude is re-reading files or iterating unnecessarily
- Setting up a new project for token-efficient work

## Anti-Sycophancy Rules

These patterns waste 30-60% of output tokens:

| Pattern | Example | Fix |
|---------|---------|-----|
| Sycophantic opener | "Sure! Great question!" | Delete. Lead with answer. |
| Prompt restatement | "You're asking about X..." | Delete. Answer directly. |
| Closing fluff | "Let me know if you need anything!" | Delete. Stop after the answer. |
| Unsolicited suggestions | "You might also want to..." | Delete unless asked. |
| AI disclaimers | "As an AI model..." | Delete entirely. |
| Verbose preambles | "I'll help you with that..." | Delete. Start with the action. |

## Tool-Call Budgets

Set explicit budgets by task complexity:

| Task Type | Tool-Call Budget | Wrap-Up At |
|-----------|-----------------|------------|
| Quick fix / lookup | 20 calls | 15 |
| Bug fix | 30 calls | 25 |
| Feature (small) | 50 calls | 40 |
| Feature (large) | 80 calls | 65 |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add rohitg00/pro-workflow/token-efficiency@sha256:ee0e8bb0aad469b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260417.0b21f18, 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.
