Francisco Solla 0822cca82c chore: reduce token overhead in agent workflow
- Drop model-selection skill (dead, pool is dormant)
- Drop PNG rendering from UI planning (HTML-only, no pnpm ui-draft:render)
- Trim code-simplification: 331→~150 lines, Python/React examples moved to reference/
- Compress engineering-brief.md: remove redundant 'Pinhos do repo' (alwaysApply rules)
- Deduplicate capture-review-debts: reference decision-quality.md instead of re-explaining
- Create concise-output skill (35 lines) to enforce terse agent output
- Trim all 99 skill descriptions to ≤1 sentence
- Split AGENTS.md into layers: core (73 lines, always) + campaign/public/infra (on-demand)
- Decompose plan-issue: exploration sub-agent + parallel plan-writers + register sub-agent
- Decompose work-issue: exploration sub-agent + plan-writer + 2 parallel reviewers + debt sub-agent
- Update agent-work-issue to match sub-agent pattern

name: concise-output description: 'Force concise agent output to reduce token waste.' Forces concise agent output. Reduces token waste from verbose responses, unnecessary preambles, and repeated context. Use at session start or before any skill that produces long output.

Concise Output Protocol

Rules (always apply)

  1. ≤3 sentences per response unless the user asks for detail.
  2. Never repeat what you just read — state only new information or decisions.
  3. No preambles — skip "Here is...", "Let me...", "I will..." — go straight to the answer.
  4. Code in code blocks — don't write prose to describe code.
  5. Extract, don't paste — when reporting tool results, show only relevant lines.
  6. Batch tool calls — multiple read/grep calls in one message, not round-tripping.
  7. Show edits only — when editing, show the changed lines with context, not the full file.
  8. No summary at the end of a task unless explicitly asked.

In skills

When a skill instructs verbose output (tables, multi-section reports), apply these overrides:

  • Tables: max 5 rows unless the user asked for comprehensive coverage
  • Reports: lead with the conclusion, details on request
  • Checklists: only show items that need attention, skip passed items
