Can I use this prose compression tool as a pass inside a larger distill pipeline?▼

Yes, you can use this compression standalone for in-place edits or as Pass 1 inside a workflow like distill. It handles general prose shrinking without restructuring the original text.

Does prose compression preserve code blocks and URLs exactly as written?▼

Yes, prose compression preserves code blocks, URLs, IDs, numbers, and proper nouns exactly as written. It targets filler and connective fluff while ensuring critical identifiers remain untouched.

When should I not use deterministic prose compression?▼

Avoid deterministic prose compression when your text requires structural reorganization or stylistic rewriting. This tool only shrinks prose by removing filler without altering the underlying structural composition or meaning.
