What it does
Token Optimizer is an agent skill from alexgreensh/token-optimizer. Audit your OpenClaw setup for token waste, context bloat, and cost optimization opportunities
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM cost and token optimization. The repository describes itself as: Find the ghost tokens. Fix them. Survive compaction. Avoid context quality decay.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve LLM cost and token optimization
Example prompts
- “/token-optimizer”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect + Scan
- Audit
- Coaching
- Actionable Fixes
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7c05b70. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Token Optimizer loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 263 words (~481 tokens).
“You are a token optimization expert. Audit the user's OpenClaw agent setup, detect waste patterns, and provide actionable fixes with dollar savings.”
