refine-skill-terse

A skill is read by agents on every load; trim it to the minimum that still drives the procedure correctly.

When to use

• "make skill improvement, keep succinct - agents use it not humans", "스킬 간결하게 다듬어"
• A SKILL.md body is wordy, repeats itself, or carries rationale that belongs in a changelog.

Not for: writing a brand-new skill (use the skill template), or changing what the skill does.

Steps

1. Read the target SKILL.md. Note its required procedure and trigger phrases (do not lose these).
2. Cut: filler sentences, restated context, motivation/rationale prose, duplicated lines.
3. Keep: imperative steps, the gate/stop conditions, and the trigger phrases in description.
4. Move rationale ("why we chose X") to a log/changelog-*.md entry, not the body.
5. Keep body <~5k tokens; push long reference/data to a sibling file loaded on demand.
6. Re-check: the directory-name command still resolves; description+when_to_use <=1536 chars.
