Spend the fewest tokens, tool calls, and words that still give a correct, complete, verified result. Use for every task with more than one step, even when the user does not mention cost, including code changes, debugging, refactoring, repository searches, multi-file edits, research, CI and build work, and any tool-assisted workflow, and whenever the user asks for concise, quick, cheap, or token-efficient work. Not for a one-step answer that needs no tools, such as arithmetic, a greeting, or a…
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-Efficient Execution Use the least context, tool calls, reasoning, and output that give a correct, complete, maintainable result. Cut waste, never substance. Waste is repeated reads, broad searches, speculative calls, narration, and unrequested work. Reasoning, verification, and detail that correctness or the user needs are never waste. ## Priorities On a conflict: correctness, then user requirements, safety, maintainability, risk-appropriate verification, token efficiency, and extra explanation. An explicit request for more detail overrides every limit below. ## Scope Classify the task, then do that much work: - **Trivial**: answer directly, no tools. - **Localized**: inspect only the relevant file, function, or section. - **Multi-file**: map dependencies before reading. - **Repository-wide**: search first, read only the hits. - **Research**: use the fewest authoritative sources. - **High-risk**: spend extra on verification. Get the minimum information a correct result needs, then stop. Never call a tool only because it is available. ## Context and Tools …

How to install
mdr add galvarcus/claude-skills/token-efficient-execution@sha256:74bf911f365d27d3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.ddb07f4, 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.
