SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI coding agents load always-on instructions, rules, docs, and skills into every session, silently inflating context and wasting tokens. This Skill audits the host project to identify exactly which files inflate agent context and how, without editing anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context Footprint Audit: Inventories always-on instructions (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md), rule apply-modes, docs, skills, ignore gaps, tree shape, and cross-target duplication. - Evidence-Backed Findings: Labels each finding with severity, evidence path, and likely token effect (always-on, on-demand, or search-tax) without inventing tokenizer counts. - Read-Only Safety: Never edits, commits, or plans reductions; planning waits for explicit user consent in a separate step. - Use Case: A team using Copilot, Cursor, and Claude notices slow agent responses. Run this Skill to get a markdown footprint report showing duplicated instruction files and overly broad rule globs driving up per-session token cost. ## Quick Start Analyze this project's agent context footprint and produce a report of token-waste findings with evidence paths.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find what is inflating my AI agent's context tokens?▼

Run a footprint audit that inventories always-on instruction files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, rule apply-modes, docs, and skills. The report labels each finding as always-on, on-demand, or search-tax with evidence paths and severity.

How to audit Cursor rules and Copilot instructions for token waste?▼

Check .cursor/rules and .github/instructions for alwaysApply flags, broad applyTo patterns, and **/* globs that inject rules into every session. Also look for the same instruction body duplicated across Copilot, Cursor, Claude, and Codex targets.

Does this analysis modify or delete my project files?▼

No, the audit is strictly read-only. It never edits, creates, or deletes host files, never commits or opens pull requests, and reduction planning only begins after explicit user consent in a separate step.

Can it report exact token counts for each instruction file?▼

No, it deliberately avoids invented tokenizer counts and single numeric scores. Each finding carries a severity level (low, moderate, high) and a qualitative token effect label instead of fabricated numbers.

What happens when the workspace is empty or unreadable?▼

The audit stops and states in the report that the workspace is empty or unreadable rather than inventing a codebase. It prefers asking clarifying questions over fabricating files or stack facts.
