Developer creates 'master-of' tool to optimize Claude Code skill management

A developer has created a tool called "master-of" to manage Claude Code skills more efficiently. The tool acts as a "bouncer," organizing skills behind domain gates so that Claude only loads necessary skills for a given task, rather than all installed skills at once. This approach aims to reduce token consumption and improve session startup times. The "master-of" tool also includes features for sorting new skills and checking token savings, and it requires Node 22.6+ or Bun for installation. AI

IMPACT Optimizes token usage and session performance for Claude Code users with extensive skill libraries.

    master-of: Gave my 20+ Claude Code skills a bouncer at the door

    <p>Noticed my Claude Code sessions were getting slower to start and burning tokens before I'd even said anything. Turns out every installed skill's description sits in the system prompt all the time, whether that session needs it or not. I had a decent-sized personal library and …
