What it does

Cco Coach is an agent skill from egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer. Analyze the user's last prompt for clarity, scope and specificity — give a quality score and concrete suggestions to make the next prompt produce better results

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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: Claude Code plugin that tracks token usage, identifies wasted context, and saves 30-50% on API costs. Heatmaps, ROI reports, budget alerts, efficiency scores, git-aware… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/cco-coach”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/prompt-coach.js:*), Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f6f20ee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/prompt-coach.js:*)
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Cco Coach loads about 438 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~438

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.

Prompt Coach

When the user runs /cco-coach or asks for "prompt feedback" / "оцени мой промпт", run the analyzer on the user's last natural-language ask (or on text they provide).

How to use

If the user passes text after the command (e.g. /cco-coach add login screen):

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/prompt-coach.js analyze "the prompt text here"

If no text given, show recent prompt history and average score:

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/prompt-coach.js history 10

What the score means

The coach grades on four dimensions (S/A/B/C/D/F):

  • Specificity — does the prompt name files, line numbers, identifiers?
  • Scope — is the change bounded? "fix bug in src/auth.js:42" beats "fix all bugs"
  • Success criteria — how do we know it's done? (tests pass, error gone, etc.)
  • Length — too short usually means under-specified; too long buries the ask

Presentation

After running the script, summarise the top 1–3 suggestions in plain language and offer to rewrite the prompt for the user. If they say yes:

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/src/prompt-coach.js improve "the original prompt"

Then show the improved version with a brief diff explaining what changed.

When to suggest this proactively

If you notice the user's prompt scored ≤60 in the last UserPromptSubmit hook and a task is going off the rails (lots of reads with no edits), gently suggest /cco-coach to refine.
