How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 33
Persistence: Use ralph for "don't stop until done"
- Very specific: line 34
Parallel Execution: Use ultrawork for parallel agents
- Distinctive: line 35
Delegation Enforcement: Always active via core orchestration
- Distinctive: line 59
FIRST ACTION: Before delegating any work, read the agent reference file:
- Very specific: line 118
Use omx_state MCP tools for ecomode lifecycle state.
≈ “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.
Files
clawd 路径适配(重要):本技能移植自 oh-my-codex,文中所有
~/.codex/...、.codex/skills/、CODEX_HOME都是 Codex 时代的路径。在 clawd 里真实生效的是:
- 技能位置:
<项目>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md(支持分组子目录,如skills/reverse/<sub>/SKILL.md,发现逻辑是递归的)- 运行期数据/配置:
<项目>/.clawd/(sessions/、logs/、features.json等)- 查当前实际发现到的技能:
clawd hud或直接调skill工具;诊断环境用clawd doctor只有当你确实在 Codex 里运行本技能时,
~/.codex/...那套路径才成立。 在 clawd 里照着~/.codex/...找文件只会得到"不存在"。
Ecomode Skill
Token-efficient model routing. This is a MODIFIER, not a standalone execution mode.
What Ecomode Does
Overrides default model selection to prefer cheaper tiers:
| Default Tier | Ecomode Override |
| THOROUGH | STANDARD, THOROUGH only if essential |
| STANDARD | LOW first, STANDARD if needed |
| LOW | LOW - no change |
What Ecomode Does NOT Do
- Persistence: Use
ralphfor "don't stop until done" - Parallel Execution: Use
ultraworkfor parallel agents - Delegation Enforcement: Always active via core orchestration
Combining Ecomode with Other Modes
Ecomode is a modifier that combines with execution modes:
| Combination | Effect |
eco ralph | Ralph loop with cheaper agents |
eco ultrawork | Parallel execution with cheaper agents |
eco autopilot | Full autonomous with cost optimization |
Ecomode Routing Rules
ALWAYS prefer lower tiers. Only escalate when task genuinely requires it.
| Decision | Rule |
| DEFAULT | Start with LOW tier for most tasks |
| UPGRADE | Escalate to STANDARD when LOW tier fails or task requires multi-file reasoning |
| AVOID | THOROUGH tier - only for planning/critique if essential |
Agent Selection in Ecomode
FIRST ACTION: Before delegating any work, read the agent reference file:
Read file: docs/shared/agent-tiers.mdThis provides the complete agent tier matrix, MCP tool assignments, and selection guidance.
Ecomode preference order:
// PREFERRED - Use for most tasks
delegate(role="executor", tier="LOW", task="...")
delegate(role="explore", tier="LOW", task="...")
delegate(role="architect", tier="LOW", task="...")
// FALLBACK - Only if LOW fails
delegate(role="executor", tier="STANDARD", task="...")
delegate(role="architect", tier="STANDARD", task="...")
// AVOID - Only for planning/critique if essential
delegate(role="planner", tier="THOROUGH", task="...")Delegation Enforcement
Ecomode maintains all delegation rules from core protocol with cost-optimized routing:
| Action | Delegate To | Model |
| Code changes | executor | LOW / STANDARD |
| Analysis | architect | LOW |
| Search | explore | LOW |
| Documentation | writer | LOW |
Background Execution
Long-running commands (install, build, test) run in background. Maximum 20 concurrent.
Token Savings Tips
- Batch similar tasks to one agent instead of spawning many
- Use explore (LOW tier) for file discovery, not architect
- Prefer LOW-tier executor routing for simple changes - only upgrade if it fails
- Use writer (LOW tier) for all documentation tasks
- Avoid THOROUGH-tier agents unless the task genuinely requires deep reasoning
Disabling Ecomode
Ecomode can be completely disabled via config. When disabled, all ecomode keywords are ignored.
Set in ~/.codex/.omx-config.json:
{
"ecomode": {
"enabled": false
}
}State Management
Use omx_state MCP tools for ecomode lifecycle state.
- On activation:
state_write({mode: "ecomode", active: true}) - On deactivation/completion:
state_write({mode: "ecomode", active: false}) - On cancellation/cleanup:
run
$cancel(which should callstate_clear(mode="ecomode"))
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
