Cut Claude Code token use by removing unused skills
Claude Code can include many skill descriptions in its context, and those descriptions can take up a large part of the prompt. Keeping unused skill descriptions in every run increases token use and can make the workflow less efficient.
skillreaper checks Claude Code and finds skills that were never invoked. Removing those unused skills from the setup can shrink the context and reduce token consumption.
The workflow is repeatable and can be combined with other methods. It is most useful for intermediate or advanced Claude Code users who already rely on many skills.
Key points
- descriptions can add extra context and increase token use.
- skillreaper analyzes Claude Code to find skills that were never invoked.
- Removing unused skills can reduce and token consumption.
- The workflow is aimed at users who already manage several .
- Rare but important skills should not be removed only because they did not appear in a small sample.
