SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses charter and history bloat across a multi-agent team by extracting repeated knowledge into reusable skills, reducing per-agent context size and improving coordinator efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit: Scan agent charters and histories to measure sizes and identify boilerplate, shared knowledge, and recurring learnings.
  • Extract: Promote duplicated content into standalone skills with SKILL.md entries following the team template and confidence thresholds.
  • Trim & Report: Slim individual charters and histories to size targets, summarize context, and produce a savings report showing before/after reductions.
  • Use Case: Run as a periodic maintenance pass when agent context growth threatens performance or when onboarding many agents with overlapping responsibilities.

Quick Start

Trigger a team-wide optimization by instructing the coordinator to run the reskill pass to audit charters, extract shared skills, trim agent context, and generate a savings report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce context bloat in multi-agent charters and histories?

Reduce multi-agent context bloat by scanning charters and histories to identify boilerplate and recurring entries, then extracting that duplicated knowledge into centralized SKILL.md files to slim down per-agent context sizes.

What is the best way to extract shared patterns from agent histories?

Extract shared patterns from agent histories by auditing recurring learnings across agents, promoting the duplicated content into standalone skills, and generating a tabulated savings report showing before and after context reductions.

How do I audit agent charters to measure context size and identify boilerplate?

Audit agent charters by scanning team-wide charters and histories to measure their sizes, identify shared knowledge, and flag recurring boilerplate entries that can be centralized into reusable skills.

When should I run a context optimization pass for my multi-agent team?

Run a context optimization pass when agent context growth threatens coordinator performance, or when onboarding many agents with overlapping responsibilities and duplicated knowledge across their charters.

Can I trim individual agent histories to specific size targets?

Yes, you can trim individual agent histories to size targets by summarizing context, removing recurring entries that have been centralized into shared skills, and producing a savings report to track the reductions.
