I built HiTank because most Claude Code skill implementations I found were 400-600 lines of TypeScript or Python with multiple dependencies. In Ruby, the same skill is ~185 lines using only stdlib (net/http, json, openssl). No external gems.

Every line the agent reads is a token you pay for, so keeping skills small matters.

Happy to answer any questions about the approach.
