Implements the NOWAIT technique for efficient reasoning in R1-style LLMs. Use when optimizing inference of reasoning models (QwQ, DeepSeek-R1, Phi4-Reasoning, Qwen3, Kimi-VL, QvQ), reducing chain-of-thought token usage by 27-51% while preserving accuracy. Triggers on "optimize reasoning", "reduce thinking tokens", "efficient inference", "suppress reflection tokens", or when working with verbose CoT outputs.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'nowait' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'nowait' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named nowait already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/aicodedecode/awesome-muse-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'faf37c0859ebf627bfcb5225e8057d088691e0ae' -- 'skills-imported/nowait' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills-imported/nowait' ~/.agents/skills/'nowait' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'nowait' ~/.claude/skills/'nowait' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
