Token compression

Token compression

Coding-agent skills that cut LLM token usage — and cost — without losing correctness.

Token compression tools make AI coding agents emit less — less code, less prose — while keeping correctness intact. Fewer generated tokens means lower API cost, faster responses, and lower energy use per request, in line with GreenPT's sustainability goals.

Three open-source skills, from most to least comprehensive:

ToolFocusHeadline
HoneyLess code and less prose, plus dense agent-to-agent handoffs~49% fewer code tokens at 98% of baseline quality
PonytailMinimal code (YAGNI)~54% less code (up to 94%), ~20% cheaper, ~27% faster
CavemanTerse prose~75% fewer output tokens, full technical accuracy

Honey combines what Ponytail (minimal code) and Caveman (terse prose) do separately, then adds auto-intensity, safety carve-outs, and compressed subagent handoffs.
