README
AntiBalloon
AntiBalloon is a skill-bloat guard for [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com). It is prompt-only: one `SKILL.md`, with no scripts and no hooks. It stops the model from turning one-off tasks into new skills, rejects skills that overlap existing ones, and audits `~/.claude/skills/` for skills to remove.
Rules
| Section | Rule | What the model does |
|---|---|---|
| Core 1 | Inline first | Single-use tasks, tone or formatting tweaks and quick routines stay as prompts in the chat, not new .md files. |
| Core 2 | Core ecosystem | It protects twelve core skills: MinToken, HighPer, ClaudPer, ClaudeMT, ClaudeCtx, ClaudeLean, ClaudeG, Peoples, NetClaude, AICreateAI, Office, HumanSpeak. |
| Core 3 | Zero redundancy | It blocks a new skill whose job overlaps a core skill or hook. |
| Step 1 | Gatekeeper | Before a new skill is made it asks three things: used in 10+ sessions? already covered by ClaudeLean, MinToken or ClaudeCtx? infrastructure (hooks, filters, monitors) or just a text wrapper? A no, a yes or a text wrapper means reject. |
| Step 2 | Audit | It scans ~/.claude/skills/, counts the skills, estimates their context footprint, and flags non-core, duplicate or ad-hoc ones. |
| Step 3 | Report | Installed count (target ≤ 10), estimated context overhead, skills flagged for deletion, and the exact rm -rf commands to remove them. |
Install
git clone https://github.com/omer-faruk-g/AntiBalloon ~/.claude/skills/anti-balloon
Then restart Claude Code. The skill loads when you say AntiBalloon, AntiBloat or skill temizliği, ask to audit or prune skills, or type `/anti-balloon`.
Limits
- The core list is fixed at twelve names. Any other skill, including AntiBalloon itself, counts as non-core and gets flagged in an audit. Edit the list in
SKILL.mdto match your own set. - The report prints
rm -rfcommands; it does not run them. Check each folder before you delete it, since a deleted skill is gone unless it is in git. - The over
