simplicio-orientlisted

Terminal-first execution — answer facts with the shell, never with the LLM. Use whenever a step needs a fact about the filesystem, git, processes, or system resources, or runs a build/test/lint/diff whose output would flood context. Substitutes deterministic shell/CLI calls for native LLM operations and clamps their output 60–90% (rtk-style) with a failure-safe tee cache, signatures-only reads, and an optional auto-rewrite hook. This is the token-economy spine of simplicio-tasks, usable standalone.

# simplicio-orient — terminal-first, token-frugal execution The cheapest token is the one not spent. The terminal KNOWS facts exactly; the LLM APPROXIMATES them expensively. This skill routes every step to the leanest substrate that still completes it correctly, and clamps command output before it ever reaches context. Credit: folds the disciplines of **rtk** (per-command output reduction, tee-on-failure, signatures-only reads, auto-rewrite hook) and **caveman** (preserve code/paths byte-for-byte) into the simplicio safety spine. It is the extracted, standalone form of `simplicio-tasks` Step 1c. ## The one rule > If the answer is a fact about the filesystem, git state, process state, or system > resources — the terminal answers it exactly and cheaply. Use the terminal. The LLM is for > reasoning; the terminal is for facts. **Execute commands for real — never reason about what a > command "would return".** ## Execution priority 1. Host-runtime native command bound to `shell_exec` (structured, minimal tokens, cross-platform). 2. Shell/Bash tool call WITH output clamping (this skill's catalog). 3. NEVER: the LLM narrating a command's likely output. ## Terminal substitution table (use the terminal, not the LLM) Detect platform once: `python3 -c "import platform; print(platform.system())"` → `Windows | Darwin | Linux`. Prefer cross-platform tools (`git`, `gh`, `rg`, `python3`) so one command works everywhere; fall back to OS-specific only when there is no alternative. | W
