feat(commands): add /context-budget optimizer command (#554)

* feat(commands): add /context-budget optimizer command

Adds a command that audits context window token consumption across
agents, skills, rules, MCP servers, and CLAUDE.md files.

Detects bloated agent descriptions, redundant components, MCP
over-subscription, and CLAUDE.md bloat. Produces a prioritized
report with specific token savings per optimization.

Directly relevant to #434 (agent descriptions too verbose, ~26k
tokens causing performance warnings).

* fix: address review feedback on context-budget command

- Add $ARGUMENTS to enable --verbose flag passthrough
- Fix MCP token estimate: 45 tools × ~500 tokens = ~22,500 (was ~2,200)
- Fix heavy agents example: all 3 now exceed 200-line threshold
- Fix description threshold: warning at >30 words, fail at >50 words
- Add Step 4 instructions (was empty)
- Fix audit cadence: "quarterly" → "regularly" + "monthly" consistently
- Fix Output Format heading level under Step 4
- Replace "Antigravity" with generic "harness versions"
- Recalculate total overhead to match corrected MCP numbers

* fix: correct MCP tool count and savings percentage in sample output

- Fix MCP tool count: table now shows 87 tools matching the issues
  section (was 45 in table vs 87 in issues)
- Fix savings percentage: 5,100 / 66,400 = 7.7% (was 20.6%)
- Recalculate total overhead and effective context to match

* fix: correct sample output arithmetic

- Fix total overhead: 66,400 → 66,100 to match component table sum
  (12,400 + 6,200 + 2,800 + 43,500 + 1,200 = 66,100)
- Fix MCP savings: ~1,500 → ~27,500 tokens (55 tools × 500 tokens/tool)
  to match the per-tool formula defined in Step 1
- Reorder optimizations by savings (MCP removal is now #1)
- Fix total savings and percentage (31,100 / 66,100 = 47.0%)

* fix: distinguish always-on vs on-demand agent overhead

Agent descriptions are always loaded into Task tool routing context,
but the full agent body is only loaded when invoked. The audit now
measures both: description-only tokens as always-on overhead and
full-file tokens as worst-case overhead. This resolves the
contradiction between Step 1 (counting full files) and Tip 1 (saying
only descriptions are loaded per session).

* fix: simplify agent accounting and resolve inconsistencies

- Revert to single agent overhead metric (full file tokens) — simpler
  and matches what the report actually displays
- Add back 200-line threshold for heavy agents in Step 1
- Fix heavy agents action to match issue type (split/trim, not
  description-only)
- Remove .agents/skills/ scan path (doesn't exist in ECC repo)
- Consolidate description threshold to single 30-word check

* fix: add model assumption and verbose mode activation

- Step 4: assume 200K context window by default (Claude has no way to
  introspect its model at runtime)
- Step 4: add explicit instruction to check $ARGUMENTS for --verbose
  flag and include additional output when present

* fix: handle .agents/skills/ duplicates in skill scan

Skills scan now checks .agents/skills/ for Codex harness copies and
skips identical duplicates to avoid double-counting overhead.

* fix: add savings estimate to heavy agents action for consistency

* feat(skills): add context-budget backing skill, slim command to delegator

* fix: use structurally detectable classification criteria instead of session frequency

description: Analyze context window usage across agents, skills, MCP servers, and rules to find optimization opportunities. Helps reduce token overhead and avoid performance warnings.

# Context Budget Optimizer
Analyze your Claude Code setup's context window consumption and produce actionable recommendations to reduce token overhead.
## Usage
```
/context-budget [--verbose]
```
- Default: summary with top recommendations
- `--verbose`: full breakdown per component
$ARGUMENTS
## What to Do
Run the **context-budget** skill (`skills/context-budget/SKILL.md`) with the following inputs:
1. Pass `--verbose` flag if present in `$ARGUMENTS`
2. Assume a 200K context window (Claude Sonnet default) unless the user specifies otherwise
3. Follow the skill's four phases: Inventory → Classify → Detect Issues → Report
4. Output the formatted Context Budget Report to the user
The skill handles all scanning logic, token estimation, issue detection, and report formatting.
