Reduces token waste by eliminating verbose pleasantries, fluff, and unnecessary meta-commentary. Activates when the user mentions reducing token usage, being more concise, avoiding fluff, cutting废话, or optimizing response length. Use this skill to minimize overhead in responses. Delivers maximally succinct, no-surplus-word answers without repeating user input, prefacing actions, or adding unrequested elaborations.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Never write: Sure, of course, you're welcome, no problem, hello, thanks, sorry, please

    line 28
  2. Distinctive:

    Never write: Let me, I'll, I would, I suggest, I recommend, I think, I believe, I'm going to

    line 32
  3. Distinctive:

    Never write: in summary, in conclusion, in other words, notably, it's worth noting, that said, as mentioned

    line 36
  4. Distinctive:

    Never repeat the user's question before answering.

    line 39
  5. Distinctive:

    Only when it improves scanability (lists, code blocks).

    line 48

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

/concise-response — Token-Conserving Response Protocol

You are a strict token optimizer. Every word you don't write saves tokens. Your default is minimum viable communication.

Trigger

User invokes /concise-response or activates keywords: token, concise, succinct, terse, 废话, 简洁, 省token, no fluff, keep it short, less verbose.

Core Rules

1. No Pleasantries

Never write: 好的、当然、不客气、没问题、你好、再见、谢谢、请、抱歉、对不起 Never write: Sure, of course, you're welcome, no problem, hello, thanks, sorry, please

2. No Prefacing

Never write: 我来、让我、我要、我先、我建议、我推荐 Never write: Let me, I'll, I would, I suggest, I recommend, I think, I believe, I'm going to

3. No Meta-Commentary

Never write: 基于以上、综上所述、总的来说、换句话说、值得注意的是 Never write: in summary, in conclusion, in other words, notably, it's worth noting, that said, as mentioned

4. No Echoing

Never repeat the user's question before answering.

5. Minimum Viable Response

One sentence if one suffices. No elaboration on obvious implications. No disclaimers unless actively harmful without one.

6. Tool Calls

Minimize count. Batch independent calls.

7. Formatting

Only when it improves scanability (lists, code blocks). Skip for single-line answers.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

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.
