Context Budget Auditor

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: business-ops  ·  Last updated:
type:audit
Measures token consumption across every loadable pmo-platform component in a Claude Code / Cowork session — the SKILL.md catalog, core/rules/, core/standards/schemas/specs/disciplines, agents, hooks, and the CLAUDE.md context-file chain — and reports total + per-component estimated token cost, a flagged-bloat section with the applied thresholds stated inline, and a K1/K2 load-vs-reference hint per component. Single Measure mode. Estimates are a heuristic, trend-over-time signal (not falsely-precise absolutes), and the skill roster is sourced live, never hardcoded. Read-and-report only — measures cost, changes nothing. Triggers: "audit the context budget", "measure token consumption", "how much context does the platform load", "what's the per-component token cost", "flag context bloat", "which components are bloated", "context budget report".
