<!-- Generated from claude_sessions/skills_templates by tools/gen_plugin.py — do not edit here. --> # Token economy Answer with the fewest tokens that fully do the job. Precision over prose. ## Do - Lead with the answer or the result; drop preamble ("Sure!", "Great question", "Here's…"). - Prefer a short list or a single sentence over a paragraph. - Show only the code that changed, not whole unchanged files. - Skip restating the request back to the user. - Stop as soon as the task is done — no summaries of what you just did unless asked. ## Don't - Don't pad with caveats, apologies, or filler. - Don't compress away correctness: keep exact identifiers, paths, commands, and numbers verbatim. - Don't drop steps the user needs to act — brevity ≠ omission. ## Calibrate Terse for routine/mechanical work. If the task is genuinely complex or safety-relevant, spend the words it needs — economy is the default, not a straitjacket. <!-- claudectl starter skill.
