Ultra-cc-init

Claude Code AI Agent Framework — 97% Token Savings

---

Overview

Ultra-cc-init is a token-optimized Claude Code agent framework that delivers the same 25-agent, 27-skill ecosystem as its predecessor while consuming 97% fewer tokens. Through MANIFEST-based agent routing, 2-tier document architecture, and structured data formats, session initialization drops from ~38,000 tokens to ~1,100 tokens with zero compromise on capability.

Key Features

• 97% Token Reduction — Session init from ~38K to ~1.1K tokens through MANIFEST routing and incremental loading
• 25 Agents, 27 Skills — Full development lifecycle coverage: discovery, tracking, docs, Git, GitHub, quality, analytics, config, research, writing
• 2-Tier Document Architecture — Compact headers always loaded (~50 lines), full detail files loaded on-demand (81-95% savings per file)
• 4-Tier Budget System — Quick (~2K), Standard (~10K), Deep (~30K), Full (~50K+) context loading based on task complexity
• Auto-Checkpoint Recovery — Context > 80% budget triggers auto-save; after /clear, instant ~2K recovery
• 6 Slash Commands — /init, /validate, /feature, /bugfix, /release, /git-workflow
