Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
Cut wasted tokens in coding-agent sessions without lowering quality. Use when a command prints a long log or test output, when the same command keeps failing, when resuming work from an older project map or handoff, when AGENTS.md or other instruction files may be duplicated, or when the user asks where their Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode usage went, why they hit a rate limit, or how to make the agent cheaper. Runs a bundled zero-dependency Python CLI locally; no network, never reads credentia…

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'usage-engineer' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'usage-engineer' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named usage-engineer already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6d2e63f73f845eb5dd94c1debba627d4b6e32fba' -- 'plugins/noamshorts22-prog/usage-engineer/skills/usage-engineer' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/noamshorts22-prog/usage-engineer/skills/usage-engineer' ~/.agents/skills/'usage-engineer' && 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/'usage-engineer' ~/.claude/skills/'usage-engineer' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
