⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 17, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Ran the bundled list-sessions.js and preprocess.js live against a real 19MB project transcript: it detected the auto-compact boundary and built a verbatim compact cache in under two seconds with zero LLM tokens, a genuine alternative to /compact. But the skill is plugin-shaped: SKILL.md invokes its scripts via ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/, which a plain skill-directory install does not provide, so the exact command fails with 'Cannot find module /scripts/list-sessions.js'. It works well installed as the plugin (/plugin install claude-code-token-saver@ww-w-ai) but is broken as a standalone skill copy. Mislabeled crypto; it is an efficiency/token-saving tool.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 3/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Continue (Token Saver) does
Restores context from previous Claude Code sessions by parsing the JSONL transcripts directly, with no LLM summarization call. Triggers on 'continue', 'restore context', 'pick up where I left off', 'what was I doing'. A cheaper, faster alternative to /compact for resuming prior work.
How to install Continue (Token Saver)
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Continue (Token Saver) skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from ww-w-ai/claude-code-token-saver. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Continue (Token Saver) work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 17, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup.
