Coaches a token-efficient Claude Code or Codex setup from the user's own usage data. Use when planning a build, fixing a slow or costly setup, or deciding which workflow steps need a model.
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 Coach
A coaching conversation about where the user's tokens go and what to change, grounded in numbers measured on their machine. The deliverable is a short, prioritised action plan the user agrees with. For a full audit that edits their setup, hand over to `token-optimizer`.
Token Optimizer's own skills (`token-optimizer`, `token-coach`, `token-dashboard`, `fleet-auditor`, `resume-checkpoint`) are the measurement layer, so leave them out of every unused-skill, archive or consolidation suggestion, however rarely they run.
## 1. Collect the data
Run exactly this first. It finds the newest installed copy, so a stale plugin cache never answers:
```bash
RUNTIME="${TOKEN_OPTIMIZER_RUNTIME:-}"
if [ -z "$RUNTIME" ]; then
if [ -n "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT" ] || [ -n "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA" ]; then
RUNTIME="claude"
elif [ -n "$OPENCODE" ] || [ -n "$OPENCODE_BIN" ] || [ -n "$OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR" ] || [ -n "$OPENCODE_CONFIG" ]; then
RUNTIME="opencode"
elif [ -n "$CODEX_HOME" ]; then
RUNTIME="codex"
# Explicit config-dir env of another harness: same tier as Python's
# detect_runtime() (above CLAUDECODE, which every Claude Code child inherits).
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add alexgreensh/token-optimizer/token-coach@sha256:2b503df4e0f94797The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.5e18db5, 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.
