| Skill | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
| concise-mode | Reduces token usage ~75% by stripping filler — narration, preambles, closings — without touching reasoning, tool use, or code | Download |
| code-craft | Minimal-code mode — write the least code that correctly solves the task, match the surrounding abstraction level, and stop before adding what wasn't asked for | Download |
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/YahyaZekry/agent-skills.git
# Install a skill (from the repo root)
claude skill install ./agent-skills/concise-mode.skillDownload the .skill file and install:
claude skill install concise-mode.skillOnce installed, invoke a skill by name in Claude Code:
concise mode
code-craft
Reduces token usage ~75% by stripping verbal filler — without changing how Claude reasons, uses tools, or handles code. Cuts narration before/after tool calls and agent spawning, preambles, and closings. The answers stay identical; you just stop paying for the wrapper around them.
Trigger: concise mode
Deactivate: verbose mode or deactivate concise
Minimal-code mode. Writes the least code that correctly solves the task, matches the surrounding codebase's abstraction level, and stops before adding anything that wasn't asked for. Stays active for the rest of the conversation. Also works on existing code — share something over-built and ask for it simpler.
Trigger: code-craft, minimal mode, keep it simple, stop over-engineering, simplify this
Deactivate: code-craft off
PRs welcome. Each skill lives in skills/<name>/SKILL.md. The .skill files at the root are the packaged installable versions (ZIP archives).
