We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 6

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Every tool a session loads costs context on every request, used or not.

    line 9
  2. Very specific:

    Run eklavya toolprune list with Bash and show what it printed: each proposed tool with its evidence, and any tools Eklavya already denied.

    line 14
  3. Very specific:

    If the developer passed apply (all of them) or named tools, run eklavya toolprune apply [tool...].

    line 16
  4. Very specific:

    If they passed restore, run eklavya toolprune restore [tool...].

    line 19
  5. Very specific:

    If they asked what it saves, run eklavya toolprune measure and repeat its two lines as written: it counts listing lines of deferred tools …

    line 21
  6. Very specific:

    Never edit .claude/settings.local.json yourself, and never apply without being asked: the deny list is the developer's file.

    line 25

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

/eklavya:toolprune

Every tool a session loads costs context on every request, used or not. Eklavya keeps, per repository, how many prompts and sessions have passed since each loaded tool was last used, and proposes the ones that went unused. It writes nothing until the developer says so.

  1. Run eklavya toolprune list with Bash and show what it printed: each proposed tool with its evidence, and any tools Eklavya already denied.
  2. If the developer passed apply (all of them) or named tools, run eklavya toolprune apply [tool...]. Say that the change takes effect from the next session, and that eklavya toolprune restore undoes it.
  3. If they passed restore, run eklavya toolprune restore [tool...]. Say that restored tools are not proposed again.
  4. If they asked what it saves, run eklavya toolprune measure and repeat its two lines as written: it counts listing lines of deferred tools only, and says it does not measure full definitions.

Never edit .claude/settings.local.json yourself, and never apply without being asked: the deny list is the developer's file. eklavya toolprune apply refuses when economy.toolprune is off, when the file is not valid JSON, or when .claude leads out of the repository through a symlink; report its reason as written. Built-in tools Claude Code needs to work (Bash, Read, Edit, Write, the search and web tools, Agent, Skill, ToolSearch, AskUserQuestion) and every Eklavya tool are never proposed.
