What it does

Workflows Optimize Credits is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay workflows — reduce a workflow's credit and LLM cost via the CLI (clay workflows commands). Identifies expensive patterns and suggests cheaper alternatives.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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: Build with Clay in your AI coding agent - skills, MCP tools, and the clay CLI for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Search companies and people, run enrichment routines, and query…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LLM cost and token optimization

Example prompts

  • “/workflows-optimize-credits”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the workflow using clay workflows graph get --mode full to get all node details
  2. Identify cost drivers — LLM calls, Clay action usage, model selection
  3. Present optimization opportunities with estimated impact, alongside a render of the current graph (clay workflows diagram ) with the…
  4. Apply authorized changes — edit the workflow only when the user's request authorizes modifications, via clay workflows nodes…
  5. Show the result — after applying, run clay workflows graph format and render the updated graph so the change is visible

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a813258. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Workflows Optimize Credits loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 671 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 671 words (~1,315 tokens).

“Analyze the current workflow and suggest changes to reduce credit consumption and LLM costs without sacrificing quality.”
