# Compact docs writer
Rewrite a doc — or draft a new one — for **token economy**: carry **all** its rules and intent in
the **least text possible**, because the doc loads into agent context and is paid for on every
read. Then prove nothing was lost: present the change with a word delta measured from the files,
and apply only on approval.
## Core principle
Write each piece of information with the least text that still preserves every rule, constraint,
edge case, and intent. Two directions, equally binding:
- Cut duplication, filler, and anything restatable more briefly.
- **Never** drop text whose removal loses information or instruction, just to be shorter.
Recurring reflex: *"Can this exact rule be said in fewer words?"* — if yes, do it.
The **no-op test** licenses one more deletion. Ask of each sentence, in isolation: *"does it
change the agent's behaviour versus its default?"* If not, it's a no-op — the agent already acts
this way, so removing it loses nothing: delete the whole sentence rather than trimming words from
it.
Compaction counts words and information density, not whitespace. Blank lines between distinct chunks
cost effectively nothing and aid the human reader, so keep them where they help; never collapse a
long passage into one dense block to look shorter. The same economy runs both ways: a
human-readability gain that is free or near-free in tokens — a blank line, a line break, a
semicolon-chained enumeration rendered as a bullet list — is always applied,...
