Context Slimmer
Audit workspace files that load into every message and reduce their token footprint.
Quick Start
# Measure current context cost
bash scripts/measure.sh
# Full audit (outputs recommendations)
bash scripts/measure.sh --audit
Audit Process
For each always-loaded file, evaluate:
- Move to skill — Content only needed for specific tasks (betting config, group chat rules, detailed protocols). Move to a skill or reference file that loads on demand.
- Remove — Outdated info, dead features, completed one-time setup, duplicated content across files.
- Compress — Verbose explanations that could be 1 sentence. If the agent already knows it, cut it.
Rules of Thumb
- If a cron job handles it, remove it from HEARTBEAT.md
- If it's in SOUL.md, don't repeat it in MEMORY.md or AGENTS.md
- If it's in USER.md, don't repeat it in MEMORY.md
- If the agent does it daily, it doesn't need instructions — just a trigger word
- Prefer 1 sentence over 5 bullets saying the same thing
- Target: each file should justify every line's token cost
Expected File Sizes (lean targets)
| File | Target |
|---|---|
| AGENTS.md | < 500 tokens |
| TOOLS.md | < 500 tokens |
| USER.md | < 700 tokens |
| MEMORY.md | < 400 tokens |
| HEARTBEAT.md | < 400 tokens |
| SOUL.md | < 250 tokens |
| IDENTITY.md | < 50 tokens |
| Total | < 2,800 tokens |
Output Format
Report: current size, projected size, savings per file. Include specific recommendations grouped by move/remove/compress.
