Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when improving ONE numeric metric under a controlled research loop with a fixed eval and kept/reverted experiments. Not for a feature (use loop-delivery) or a failing test (use loop-repair).
Use when delivering ONE bounded change — a feature, refactor, or chore — as a controlled, audited loop in any repo. Not for a failing test (use loop-repair) or a numeric metric (use loop-autoresearch).
Use when a specific test, CI job, or regression is failing and must be fixed under a reproduce-first controlled loop with proven regression coverage. Not for delivering a change (use loop-delivery) or metrics (use loop-autoresearch).
Use when a loen loop stage — plan, act, check, or result — must be validated and gated before the next one. Mode-aware for delivery/repair/research; the execution-loop analog of check-chain.
Use when you need a cross-run dashboard over all docs/loen/ runs, or --triage to turn failing runs into proposed next actions (proposals only; never launches loops or edits runs).
Use when an active, human-approved loen run should keep going multi-turn on its own — wraps it in Claude's native /goal from loop.yaml. Optional; never bootstraps a run or submits /goal itself.

This skill provides a centralized API for JSON ↔ TOON conversion and token savings calculation in the skills communication layer. It uses the @toon-format/toon npm package with name[N]{fields}: syntax. Use this skill when a skill produces tabular data (arrays >= 5 items) for inter-skill communication. For agent pipeline artifacts (research.toon, plan.toon, critique.toon), use RFC-0003 native TOON format instead — see agents/_shared/toon-protocol.md.
Базовый навык для работы с TOON форматом - компактным, человеко-читаемым форматом данных для оптимизации LLM промптов (30-60% token savings).
TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) предназначен для:
toon-skill and RFC-0003 both implement TOON but serve different layers with different syntax:
| Layer | Format | Syntax | Parser |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skills layer (this skill) | @toon-format/toon npm | name[N]{field1,field2}: | npm package |
| Agent pipeline layer (RFC-0003) | Native TOON v1 | TOON:name:v1\nfield1|field2\nval1|val2 | Claude native (no npm) |
Rule: Skills that produce output consumed by the agent pipeline (research.toon, plan.toon, critique.toon) MUST use RFC-0003 native format, NOT toon-skill npm syntax.

.nvm-isolated/npm-global/bin/toon)import { jsonToToon, toonToJson, arrayToToon, nestedToToon } from '../toon-skill/converters/toon-converter.mjs';
// Generic JSON → TOON
const toonString = jsonToToon({ components: [...] });
// TOON → JSON
const jsonObj = toonToJson(toonString);
// Specialized: Array → TOON table (PRIMARY API)
const toonTable = arrayToToon('warnings', warningsArray,
['file', 'line', 'severity', 'message']);
// Output: "warnings[15]{file,line,severity,message}:\n src/app.js,42,BLOCKING,SQL injection\n ..."
// Nested arrays (dependency graphs)
const toonGraph = nestedToToon('dependency_graph', {
nodes: { items: nodesArray, fields: ['id', 'label', 'type'] },
edges: { items: edgesArray, fields: ['from', 'to', 'type'] }
});
import { validateToon, roundTripTest } from '../toon-skill/converters/toon-converter.mjs';
// Syntax validation
const result = validateToon(toonString);
if (!result.valid) console.error(result.errors);
// Lossless conversion test
const test = roundTripTest(jsonObj);
if (test.success) console.log('Round-trip successful!');
import { calculateTokenSavings } from '../toon-skill/converters/toon-converter.mjs';
const stats = calculateTokenSavings({ warnings: [...] });
console.log(`JSON: ${stats.jsonTokens} tokens`);
console.log(`TOON: ${stats.toonTokens} tokens`);
console.log(`Saved: ${stats.savedPercent}`); // "43.2%"
Для других skills всегда используйте hybrid approach:
// Step 1: Generate JSON output (always)
const output = {
status: "success",
warnings: [...], // 15 items
blocking_issues: [...] // 2 items
};
// Step 2: Add TOON optimization (если >= 5 элементов)
import { arrayToToon, calculateTokenSavings } from '../toon-skill/converters/toon-converter.mjs';
if (output.warnings.length >= 5) {
const dataToConvert = { warnings: output.warnings };
const stats = calculateTokenSavings(dataToConvert);
output.toon = {
warnings_toon: arrayToToon('warnings', output.warnings,
['category', 'file', 'line', 'severity', 'message', 'suggestion']),
token_savings: stats.savedPercent,
size_comparison: `JSON: ${stats.jsonTokens} tokens, TOON: ${stats.toonTokens} tokens`
};
}
// blocking_issues не конвертируем (< 5 элементов)
// Step 3: Return hybrid output
return output;
Result structure:
{
"status": "success",
"warnings": [...], // JSON (всегда присутствует)
"blocking_issues": [...], // JSON (всегда присутствует)
"toon": { // TOON (опционально, если >= 5 элементов)
"warnings_toon": "warnings[15]{category,file,line,severity,message,suggestion}:\n ...",
"token_savings": "43.2%",
"size_comparison": "JSON: 3450 tokens, TOON: 1960 tokens"
}
}
Преимущества:
arrayName[N]{field1,field2,field3}:
value1_1,value1_2,value1_3
value2_1,value2_2,value2_3
Правила:
[N] - точное количество элементов (валидация){fields} - схема (названия полей): - начало табличных данных"value, with comma"Пример:
warnings[3]{file,line,severity,message}:

]

// For task-decomposition, usually 2-5 phases, so threshold rarely met

['phase_id', 'phase_name', 'files', 'dependencies']),
...calculateTokenSavings({ phases: masterPlan.phases })
};
}
return { master_plan: masterPlan };
Note: Task-decomposition обычно генерирует 2-5 фаз, поэтому TOON threshold (>= 5) редко достигается. Это правильно - для небольших планов JSON более читаем.

Aggregate savings для typical workflow:
Если ваш skill получает output от другого skill с TOON:
import { toonToJson } from '../toon-skill/converters/toon-converter.mjs';
// Input: hybrid output from upstream skill
const upstreamOutput = {
items: [...], // JSON (всегда доступен)
toon: {
items_toon: "items[15]{...}:\n ..." // TOON (опционально)
}
};
// Strategy 1: Always use JSON (safest, backward compatible)
const items = upstreamOutput.items;
// Strategy 2: Prefer TOON if available (token efficient)
const items = upstreamOutput.toon?.items_toon
? toonToJson(upstreamOutput.toon.items_toon).items
: upstreamOutput.items;
// Strategy 3: Use TOON for validation только
if (upstreamOutput.toon?.items_toon) {
const toonItems = toonToJson(upstreamOutput.toon.items_toon).items;
// Validate consistency
assert.deepStrictEqual(toonItems, upstreamOutput.items);
}
A: Проверьте, что все поля имеют consistent типы и schema. TOON требует uniform структуру.
// ❌ Bad: inconsistent schema
const items = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 30 } // 'age' only in second item
];
// ✅ Good: consistent schema
const items = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Alice', age: null },
{ id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 30 }
];
A: TOON наиболее эффективен для >= 10 элементов, табличных структур. Для 5-9 элементов экономия 25-35%.
A: Используйте validateToon() для проверки синтаксиса:
const result = validateToon(toonString);
if (!result.valid) {
console.error('Invalid TOON:', result.error);
}
A: arrayToToon() автоматически quotes значения с запятыми:
const items = [
{ file: 'app.js', message: 'Error: invalid input, check validation' }
];
const toon = arrayToToon('items', items, ['file', 'message']);
// Output: items[1]{file,message}:
// app.js,"Error: invalid input, check validation"
A: Да, добавьте optional toon field используя $ref: "@shared:TASK-STRUCTURE.md#toon-optimization":
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"status": { "enum": ["success", "failed"] },
"warnings": { "type": "array" },
"toon": {
"$ref": "../_shared/base-schema.json#/definitions/toon_optimization"
}
},
"required": ["status", "warnings"]
