Individual skill

usage-engineer

Cut wasted tokens in coding-agent sessions without lowering quality. Use when a command prints a long log or test output, when the same command keeps failing, when resuming work from an older project map or handoff, when AGENTS.md or other instruction files may be duplicated, or when the user asks where their Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode usage went, why they hit a rate limit, or how to make the agent cheaper. Runs a bundled zero-dependency Python CLI locally; no network, never reads credentials.

# usage-engineer

Every token an agent spends on a 5,000-line log, a retried command or a stale map is paid for again
on every later turn. This skill removes that waste. It never lowers the bar: requirements, tests and
verification stay exactly as strict as without it.

## The CLI

All commands run the bundled script, which has no dependencies and makes no network calls:

```
python <skill-dir>/scripts/ue.py <command>
```
