Show measured token savings — re-reads blocked and command loops broken by the parsec no-reread hook, from the local ledger, never estimated.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Savings is an agent skill from daseinlabs/parsec. Show measured token savings — re-reads blocked and command loops broken by the parsec no-reread hook, from the local ledger, never estimated.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Agent runtime optimization with Small Language Models. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/savings”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e97063c. 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

Savings loads about 273 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 136 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~273

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.

description
Show measured token savings — re-reads blocked and command loops broken by the parsec no-reread hook, from the local ledger, never estimated.

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/parsec savings and present its output to the user conversationally. Every number in that report is measured — proxy rows are the per-request count_tokens counterfactual vs actually-billed usage, hook rows are blocked re-reads x the on-disk bytes of the denied range; if the report says the ledger is empty, say so plainly — never estimate or extrapolate savings. The report is grouped by requests, conversations, and Claude Code sessions where the ledger has session identity.

If the user asks about the live status line: parsec setup writes a managed statusLine entry into ~/.claude/settings.json automatically (plugins cannot ship the key themselves) and never overwrites one the user already has. If they want it back after removing it, rerunning parsec setup — or just starting a new session — re-adds it; parsec disable removes it along with the other managed keys.

How many tokens does Savings use?

About 273 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
