Efficient Coding

What problem does it solve?

Efficient Coding eliminates wasted tokens and round-trip tool overhead by enforcing minimal, high-signal context and strict scope discipline during software development work.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Token-efficient context strategy: Use precise searches, read only what you need (and at most once), and separate discovery from implementation to prevent stale or bloated context.
• Low-round-trip tool usage: Batch independent tool calls, prefer direct CLI actions over layered tools when equivalent, and avoid speculative execution without a hypothesis.
• Minimal, scope-faithful output: Produce results without narration, avoid unsolicited explanations/comments, and prevent scope creep or unwanted file/dependency creation.

Use cases: bug fixes, refactors that preserve behavior, code reviews that focus on the exact symbols/sections involved, and technical Q&A where the agent must be concise yet correct.

Quick Start

Use the Efficient Coding skill to help the agent implement your requested code change using the smallest necessary context and without adding unrelated refactors.
