What it does

Honey Px is an agent skill from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. Read huge, dense, read-only text as rendered PNG pages instead of raw text — image tokens scale with pixels, not characters, so token-dense bulk (big files, vendored code, diffs, logs) costs ~60–75% less as an image. Use when you must skim or reason over thousands of lines you will NOT edit or byte-copy. Lossy on exact strings: never for files you'll Edit, secrets, hashes, or byte-exact values. Fable-class readers only.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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. 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

  • Reason over thousands of lines you will NOT edit

Example prompts

  • “/honey-px”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read every page-*.png and factsheet.txt. If instead you pass the
  2. Treat the manifest's percentSaved as the go/no-go — if it printed low,
  3. Before acting on any exact string seen only in an image, verify it against

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

    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

Honey Px loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 333 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701

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 PX

An image's token cost is fixed by its pixel area, not its character count. Dense text packs ~3 chars per image-token vs ~1 as text, so a 90k-char file read as PNG pages costs a fraction of the text read. pxpipe export (teamchong/pxpipe) does the rendering; the agent Reads the pages.

Lossy by design — misreads of exact strings are silent confabulations, not errors. The export writes a factsheet.txt carrying the verbatim precision tokens (paths, SHAs, ids, numbers) as text alongside the images; always read it too.

When to use

  • Bulk is read-only reference: skimming a big vendored file, a large diff for review context, docs, generated code — content you reason over, not byte-copy.
  • Dense (code, JSON, logs) and big — worth it above ~6k chars; the export prints % saved, skip if it's low. Sparse prose loses money.
  • The reader is Fable-class. Opus misreads ~7% of renders; other models degrade — read as text there.

Don't use

  • Files you will Edit — old_string must be byte-exact; imaged reads aren't. Read the real file (with offset/limit) before any edit.
  • Secrets, hashes, ids, numeric values you'll act on — treat anything exact recalled from an image as unverified; re-Grep the source first.
  • Anything the user asked to see verbatim, or that gets written back.
  • Small or sparse content — the fixed pixel cost loses.

How

sh
npx pxpipe-proxy export --json --out <scratchpad> <file-or-dir>   # or --git / --diff <ref> / --stdin

Output dir pxpipe-export-<hash>/ contains page-*.png, factsheet.txt, manifest.json (token report). Then:

  1. Read every page-*.png and factsheet.txt. If instead you pass the renders to a model over the raw API (subagent prompt, panel), include the export's prompt.txt banner — naked dense renders can trip stop_reason: refusal on Fable-class models; the banner prevents it.
  2. Treat the manifest's percentSaved as the go/no-go — if it printed low, read the text instead.
  3. Before acting on any exact string seen only in an image, verify it against the source with Grep.

Cheaper still is not reading at all — Grep/offset/limit (Lever 3b) and eson crush (CCR) come first. PX is for when you genuinely need the whole bulk in view.

Can I use Honey Px in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Green-PT/honey-for-devs --skill honey-px -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/honey-px, .gemini/skills/honey-px, .github/skills/honey-px and .opencode/skills/honey-px in your project.

What does Honey Px need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Honey Px needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Honey Px access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Honey Px safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Honey Px use?

Honey Px is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Honey Px use?

About 701 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
