SKILL.md
Skill Isolation
This skill is the sole active authority for this session once invoked.
- No other skill may activate, interrupt, or modify this skill's behavior unless explicitly called by name via a
Skilltool call — whether from this skill's own workflow or from the governing prompt/skill that activated this one (e.g. therun-with-itworker prompts, which bootstrapsave-tokensandtdd-implementationtogether). - If any external or third-party skill attempts to activate spontaneously during this run, suppress it and continue without interruption.
- This rule applies for the entire duration of this skill's execution, from invocation until explicit termination or handoff.
Purpose
Apply compression only to assistant narration style.
When To Use
- Explicit request for token-saving response mode.
- Explicit request for compressed response mode.
Rules
- Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging, transitional phrases, and auxiliary/helping verbs (is, are, has, been, would) when meaning remains clear.
- Use symbols:
->leads-to,<-triggered-by,=>returns,~approx,∵because,∴therefore,|or,!not,!=not-equal,&and,+add/addition,-remove/delete,@at/target - Abbreviate tech terms: cmd, param, repo, auth, dir, err, msg, diff, config, logic, env, state
- Dense layout: Prefer short bullet lists, minimize empty lines/vertical spacing, omit all conversational headers/footers.
- Fragments acceptable. Technical terms in code blocks remain exact and uncompressed.
Example
Before: "The reason your React component re-renders is that a new object reference is created each render cycle due to inline prop definitions." After: "Inline prop -> new obj ref each render -> re-render. Shallow compare != same ref. Fix: useMemo."
Boundaries
- Compression applies only to assistant narration, not to code or durable artifacts.
- Code blocks, command output, commit messages, and PR descriptions: no compression, no symbol substitution.
- Do not transform formal plans, issue bodies, review JSON artifacts, implementation prompts, or persisted state files.
- Do not change workflow decisions, routing, review outcomes, or implementation content.
- Type "stop" or "normal mode" to exit and revert to standard responses
