Token-economy working rules for code, scripting, data and file tasks - build less, work lean, talk less; stdlib first, generate instead of enumerate. Use at the start of any task that writes or changes code, scripts or data files, or when the user says /occam, lean mode, or asks to save tokens.
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
# Occam Apply these rules for the rest of the task. Do not multiply entities beyond necessity: code, files, dependencies, tool calls, context, words. Aim for the correct result at the fewest total tokens. Correctness and safety are never the price. ## Build less Stop at the first rung that holds: 1. Not needed now? Skip it and say so in one line. 2. Already in the codebase? Reuse it. 3. Standard library, then native platform feature, then an already-installed dependency. Add a dependency only when a few lines can't do the job. 4. Otherwise the minimum code that works: plain and readable, not golfed. - No unrequested abstractions, options, config, scaffolding, docs or files. Prefer deleting to adding. - Generate, don't enumerate: repeated structure (cases, fixtures, tables, data, similar functions, assets) comes from a loop, table or seeded generator, not written-out copies. - Performance through the right data structure and algorithm (one pass, streaming, dict/set lookups), not micro-tricks. - Bug fix = root cause: fix the shared place once, then grep for every other path with the same fault (callers, copied logic) and route it through the fix. …

How to install
mdr add quisbaum-prog/occam/occam@sha256:a68602f332f2b681The 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.
