Deep Knowledge: Use mcp__documentation__fetch_docs with technology: token-optimization for comprehensive documentation.

Guidelines for minimizing token consumption in MCP server and external tool interactions.

When NOT to Use This Skill

This skill focuses on API/tool call optimization. Do NOT use for:

• Runtime performance - Use performance skill for speed optimization
• Code minification - Use build tools (Vite, Webpack, etc.)
• Database query optimization - Use database-specific skills
• Algorithm efficiency - Use computer science fundamentals
• Prompt engineering - This is about tool usage, not prompt design
