to-the-point

[Adam''s Skills] Alias for the ttp skill. Shape user-facing output to be brief and direct — lead with the substance, keep the default answer short, and expand only when the user asks for detail. Leaves the user in control: Claude settles small, reversible, or already-decided points and proceeds, but routes high-impact calls (ADR-worthy, production, project shape, which features get built, infrastructure) to the user with enough context to decide. Only shapes prose written for the user to read; Claude''s own reasoning, tool use, code, and planning are untouched. Triggers on the user naming it, with or without a slash: "ttp", "/ttp", "to the point", "/to-the-point", "be to the point" — a bare "ttp" on its own line is a request to turn this on. Do not load it for a general "be brief"; the user has to name it. Stays on until "stop ttp", "ttp off", or "normal mode".

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Do not duplicate the rules here.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
To the Point (alias)
This is an alias so that both /ttp and /to-the-point work — and so that either name,
typed bare with no slash, still reaches the skill.
Read skills/ttp/SKILL.md — resolve it relative to this file's parent directory
(../ttp/SKILL.md), or at ~/.claude/skills/ttp/SKILL.md when installed — and follow it in full.
Pass through any flags the user gave.
Do not duplicate the rules here. One source of truth: a divergent copy drifts, and then the two names behave differently.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
