At a glance

Compress-Cache-Retrieve for huge, repetitive array tool output (logs, scan results, time series, event streams) before it enters context.

  • A tool returns a long uniform JSON array you must read but mostly skim
  • SKILL.md covers When to use, Don't use, How and Always-on hook (entry-time GC)
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • The full set is one command away if needed

What it does

Honey Ccr is an agent skill from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. Compress-Cache-Retrieve for huge, repetitive array tool output (logs, scan results, time series, event streams) before it enters context. Keeps an informative sample — endpoints, anomalies/change-points, head/tail — drops the redundant rest to a local cache, and leaves a retrievable hash. Use when a tool returns a long uniform JSON array you must read but mostly skim, and the full set is one command away if needed. Lossy-but-recoverable.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Data & Analytics, covering Forecasting and time series. The repository describes itself as: Honey (I Shrunk the AI) by GreenPT: a cross-tool coding skill that cuts AI coding-agent token usage and LLM API costs — write less code, less prose, and denser agent-to-agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A tool returns a long uniform JSON array you must read but mostly skim
  • The full set is one command away if needed

Example prompts

  • “/honey-ccr”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9169fc5. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Honey Ccr loads about 674 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~674

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.

Honey CCR

The cheapest token is the one not sent. A 500-row log read for one error line costs 500 rows of context. CCR keeps the rows that carry signal and caches the rest — recoverable by hash, so nothing is lost.

Borrowed from headroom's SmartCrusher. Lossy by design — only for data you skim, never for payloads where every row matters (e.g. a code-review handoff where the implementer needs all findings; use eson encode losslessly there).

When to use

  • A tool returns a uniform JSON array of many records (≥ ~5 items, redundant).
  • You need to read it but mostly skim — logs, search hits, metrics, events.
  • The full data stays reachable, so dropping the boring middle is safe.

Don't use

  • Small arrays (passes through untouched anyway) or non-array data.
  • Any array where every element is load-bearing — encode it, don't crush it.

How

sh
tool-that-spews-json | eson crush          # → sampled view + sentinel; originals cached
eson retrieve <hash>                        # → the full original array, verbatim

crush prints the kept sample plus a sentinel {"_ccr":"<<ccr:HASH N_rows_offloaded>>"}. When you need a dropped row, read the hash from the sentinel and run eson retrieve <hash>.

  • Cache dir: .honey-ccr/ (override with HONEY_CCR_DIR).
  • Below the size gate, crush returns the array unchanged with no sentinel — safe to pipe anything.

Always-on hook (entry-time GC)

While Honey is active, a registered PostToolUse hook applies this automatically to Bash output — no opt-in per call. Big uniform JSON arrays (≥20 items, ≥2k chars) are crushed; repetitive text (≥25 lines) gets consecutive repeats collapsed to ⟨×N⟩. The original is always stashed first, and the rewritten result ends with the exact eson retrieve <hash> command that restores it. /honey off disables the hook; history already in context is immutable — this fires at entry, the only place a hook can act.

Caveat: Claude Code builds affected by anthropics/claude-code#68951 ignore the hook's Bash rewrite, making it inert (a session-start warning tells you when this applies). Manual some-tool | eson crush piping is unaffected — prefer it there.
