- Consolidate Firebase - 6 separate skills could be 2-3
- Document skill usage - Add usage notes to each SKILL.md
Long-Term (Next Month)
- Lazy loading - Don't load skills until first use
- Project-specific profiles - Web mode vs iOS mode
- Monthly re-audit - Check /context detail quarterly
Token Impact Estimate
Assumption: Each skill = ~50-200 tokens in system prompt
| Scenario | Skills Loaded | Est. Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Current | 58 | ~6,000-8,000 |
| Optimized (Web focus) | 15 | ~1,500-2,000 |
| Optimized (iOS focus) | 20 | ~2,000-2,500 |
Potential savings: 60-70% reduction in token bloat
