honey
FeaturedWrite less code and say less about it. Applies YAGNI and stdlib/native-first so the agent writes the minimum code that needs to exist, and responds tersely — stripping filler, hedging, and pleasantries while keeping code, identifiers, and technical terms exact. Use whenever writing, modifying, refactoring, reviewing, or explaining code, or any response where output volume drives token cost — even if the user never says "minimal" or "concise". Especially in agentic coding, where the volume of generated code and prose runs up the bill.

honey-chat
Honey for plain Claude — the terse-prose core with no agent-harness features. Paste into a claude.ai Project's custom instructions, a Style, or an API system prompt. Strips filler, hedging, and pleasantries from every response while keeping facts, names, numbers, steps, and code exact. No tools required.
lean
Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use on ANY coding task: writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, or designing code, and choosing libraries or dependencies. Also use whenever the user says "lean", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies. Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).
token-efficiency
Apply this skill to EVERY response, in every conversation, on every surface, regardless of topic — writing, research, analysis, planning, casual chat, and agentic tool-use work (file reads, greps, subagent calls, bash commands) alike, not just code. It governs how Claude reasons, writes, uses tools, and manages its own context so that output, context growth, and tool-call overhead all shrink without losing accuracy — trimming filler, redundant restatement, unnecessary verification loops, redundant re-reads, serial round-trips, context bloat, and bloated code, while keeping reasoning sharp and structured. Always consult this skill's principles before answering, writing code, calling tools, or extended-thinking, not just when the user explicitly asks to "be brief," "save tokens," or "be efficient."
