Need help deploying instruction-budget-audit?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/hmlendea-instruction-budget-audit
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

SKILL.md (first lines)
Optimise context without changing policy outcomes. - Inventory words/bytes and activation: always-on, `applyTo`, semantic on-demand, or manual. - Measure automatic payload for representative paths; file size alone is not context cost. - Prioritise verbose output, large always-on sources, injected tool schemas, repeated reads, then minor prompt wording. - Always-on: universal invariants only. Move domain/workflow rules to narrow `applyTo` or semantic discovery. - Keep one concern per file; remove only rules guaranteed by a co-activated source. - Preserve protected mappings, templates, examples, thresholds, exceptions, and public contracts; hash or count them before/after mechanical edits. - Prefer compact declarative invariants over procedural repetition. - Keep model, reasoning effort, agent, skill, and tool configuration stable during a session; use `session-handoff` when changing them. - Validate frontmatter, activation, required rules, whitespace, and focused representative tasks after each slice. - Report baseline, changed surfaces, measured payload reduction, and residual risk; never infer billing savings from file size or request count.
