Skill: concise-output

Purpose

A universal output-economy discipline: emit the leanest output that still carries the full signal. Verbose output costs reader attention and tokens — and long persuasive prose raises trust without raising scrutiny. This is a dial, not a hook — you apply it; nothing rewrites your output.

Core rules

1. Evidence first

Lead with the result, finding, or answer and its evidence. Put any "why" after — and only if it makes the reader's check cheaper, not to convince them.

2. Structure over prose
