compresslisted

Compress (tighten, shorten, trim) markdown files by dropping flavor — filler, hedging, articles — while preserving all content (directives, qualifiers, thresholds, examples), with a mandatory semantic-diff subagent that reverts any SEMANTIC LOSS or AMBIGUITY. Use when: "compress this doc", "tighten markdown", "cut prose", "shorten without losing meaning", "trim onboarding doc", or verbose prose in docs/, READMEs, rule bodies, skill bodies, or third-party pasted text — actions: default (snapshot → backend → semantic-diff subagent → revert-pass → markdownlint) and audit (read-only dry-run classifying SKIP/COMPRESS/UNCERTAIN per file); flags: --force (bypass <3% revert rule), --keep-snapshot; not for: session compaction (/compact), markdown noise classification (/audit-noise), code-comment trimming, or content relocation/SSOT consolidation (/extract-ssot).

## Pre-computed context Current branch: !`git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"` Uncommitted .md files: !`git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | grep '\.md$' | head -10 || echo "none"` ## Purpose Markdown in `docs/`, README files, onboarding docs, third-party pasted prose, and drifted skill bodies accumulates FLAVOR — filler ("just", "really", "basically"), hedging ("perhaps", "might"), articles, pleasantries, redundant restatement. `context/flavor-vs-content-matrix.md` defines FLAVOR (safe to cut) vs CONTENT (never cut); this skill applies that taxonomy AT EDIT TIME to content where author-time discipline does NOT apply. Always-loaded instruction files (`.claude/rules/**`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `**/SKILL.md`) bound empirically at 2-3% yield (baseline from the authoring repo: 3/3 attempts reverted, all flavor-only, 0 semantic loss). Likely 5-15% yield on author-time-undisciplined content. Methodology: snapshot original → backend mechanical compression (the `caveman` plugin via `/caveman:compress`, OR in-session Edit fallback) → spawn semantic-diff subagent comparing original vs condensed (output: SEMANTIC LOSS / AMBIGUITY / FALSE POSITIVE per finding with verbatim citations) → revert every SEMANTIC LOSS + AMBIGUITY → run `markdownlint-cli2` → ship or revert. ## Backend selection Default-action Step B picks the mechanical-compression backend: the `caveman` plugin (marketplace `caveman`, invoked as `/caveman:compress`) when present, otherwise the in-s
