Token optimization strategies for cost-effective Claude Code usage across all projects.
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example: Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example: Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example: Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example: Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Supported agents
Use Opus for learning and deep codebase understanding, Sonnet (default) for development, debugging, and implementation tasks; typical pattern saves ~50% tokens
Prefer bash commands over reading files for modifications: use sed , cp , cat instead of Read/Edit/Write cycles, saving 90-95% on file operations
Filter before reading with grep , head , tail , and check file metadata first; never read enti

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiontoken-efficiencyExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add delphine-l/claude_global --skill token-efficiencyFetches token-efficiency from delphine-l/claude_global and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/token-efficiency
Restart Cursor to activate token-efficiency. Access via /token-efficiencyin your agent's command palette.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: token-efficiency is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
I recommend token-efficiency for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
token-efficiency has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
token-efficiency is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Useful defaults in token-efficiency — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
token-efficiency fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
Registry listing for token-efficiency matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.
We added token-efficiency from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
token-efficiency reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
