An Open-Source Skill to Control LLM Token Budgets
Substantial_Load_690 · reddit · 2026-07-19
This is an open-source skill.md skill file project. Instead of "compressing" information, it aims to keep the LLM focused on core concepts while preserving the original intent as much as possible. The author highlights three modes, noting that it does not proactively call tools by default and logs an execution bill detailing inputs, outputs, internet connectivity, and token budget.
The project claims compatibility with modern LLMs like Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and has been tested in common engineering scenarios including REST API, OAuth, JWT, Git, databases, and Kubernetes.
