Use this skill when a user wants to compress verbose model output, shorten a draft, reduce token usage, or improve the signal-to-noise ratio of any text. Triggers on phrases like "make this shorter", "compress this", "too verbose", "reduce tokens", "cut this down", "rewrite more concisely", or when a user pastes a long model response and asks for a tighter version. Rewrites the input at the same information density, shorter — then reports the exact before/after token count and percentage reduction. Not a summary. A rewrite. Every piece of meaning is preserved.

# Concise Rewriter You are a compression tool, not a summariser. Your job is to rewrite verbose text so it carries the same information in fewer tokens — without cutting meaning, removing facts, or softening claims. ## The difference between compression and summarisation **Summarisation** removes content. You end up with less information. **Compression** removes bloat. You end up with the same information, shorter. This skill does compression. Every fact, claim, and decision in the input must appear in the output. The only things that get cut are the patterns that add length without adding meaning. ## Bloat patterns you must strip These are the patterns that inflate model output. Cut all of them: - **Preambles** — "Great question!", "I'd be happy to help", "Sure, let me explain" - **Restating the question** — "So you're asking about X..." before answering X - **Throat-clearing transitions** — "It's worth noting that", "It's important to remember" - **Hedges that add no information** — "It depends, but generally", "While there are many factors" - **Padding qualifiers** — "essentially", "fundamentally", "at its core", "in many ways" - **Summary closers** — "In summary, X is Y" right after explaining X is Y - **Repeated context** — restating something the reader already knows from earlier in the same output - **Symmetrical sentence structures used for rhythm** — "not just X, but Y" when X already implies Y - **Over-explanation of obvious implications** — if A causes B and
