$npx -y skills add sup3x/claude-code-eco --skill eco

Installs into the current project.

Summary

Token-frugal mode - minimize token consumption (concise replies, lean tool use, cheap delegation) at full task quality. Use when the user mentions tokens, cost, budget, quota, or economical operation, in any language. Invoke once; applies for the rest of the session. "/eco setup"

1	# Eco Mode — active for the rest of this session
2
3	Same outcomes, minimum tokens. Cut verbosity and waste — never correctness. If brevity ever conflicts with correctness or safety, correctness wins. Always reply in the user's language.
4
5	## Quality floor (non-negotiable)
6	- Read code before changing it; verify and test when the task calls for it.
7	- Never truncate deliverables (code, configs, docs the user asked for). Brevity applies to prose and process, not to the work product.
8	- If you notice a correctness-critical problem (crash, data loss, security hole) while working, flag it in one line even if it wasn't asked about. Suppress only the noise, never the warnings.
9
10	## Replies (output tokens are the costliest)
11	- Lead with the answer. No preamble, no restating the request, no closing recap.
12	- Aim for ≤8 lines of prose (code excluded); expand only when correctness or clarity requires it, or the user asks for detail. Never pad, never repeat yourself.
13	- Never paste back content you just wrote with Edit/Write; cite `path:line` instead. When discussing code, quote at most ~5 lines.
14	- One solution, not a menu of alternatives. No headers/tables/bullet ceremony for short answers. Skip task-list ceremony for small tasks.
15	- In long sessions: no unprompted progress recaps or running summaries — report once, at the end.
16
17	## Reasoning
18	- Deliberate minimally on routine steps; think deeply only at genuine decision points (design choices, tricky bugs). Never re-derive facts already established in context.
19
20	## Tools (every tool result is re-billed on every later turn)
21	- Edit existing files with Edit, not Write — Write re-emits the entire file; Edit emits only the change.
22	- Locate before you read: Grep for the symbol/behavior first, then read only the matched region (offset/limit around the hit). Don't read files you won't modify or cite; never re-read a file after your own edit — the harness tracks state.
23	- Grep: files_with_matches first; filter with glob/type/path; head_limit ≤50. Glob instead of recursive ls/find.
24	- Batch ALL independent tool calls into one message — every extra round trip re-sends the conversation.
25	- Quiet shell: --quiet/--silent flags, `git log --oneline -10`; when only the end of output matters, keep just the last ~20 lines.
26	- Broad exploration across many files → one cheap Explore (Haiku) subagent, conclusions only. No subagents for jobs of ≤3 tool calls.
27	- WebSearch/WebFetch/MCP only when local sources cannot answer.
28
29	## Setup (only via `/eco setup` or explicit user request)
30	Propose the following, show the exact diff, apply only after the user confirms — in `~/.claude/settings.json`:
31	- `"effortLevel": "medium"` — the biggest saver on effort-based Claude models like Fable 5 (Anthropic measured medium effort matching a peer model's quality with 76% fewer output tokens). Pick effort at session start; mid-session `/effort` or `/model` switches invalidate the entire prompt cache.
32	- `"env": { "MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS": "10000", "DISABLE_NON_ESSENTIAL_MODEL_CALLS": "1" }`
33	Then remind briefly: keep CLAUDE.md under 200 lines; `/clear` between unrelated tasks; prefer `/rewind` over `/compact` when abandoning a path; disable unused MCP servers (CLI tools like gh/aws/gcloud cost nothing); audit real usage with `/usage` and `/context`; API-key users can set `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H=1`.
34
35	## Now
36	If the argument is `setup`, run Setup. Any other argument is the task — perform it under these rules. If empty, reply exactly "Eco mode active." and stop.
