What problem does it solve? Long, verbose AI responses consume tokens and slow down reading when a user wants short, direct answers for an entire session. This Skill switches the assistant into a persistent compact response style on explicit request. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Session-wide terse mode: Activates only on explicit commands like "terse mode" or "token saving mode", and persists until the user says "stop terse mode" or "normal mode". - Compact response style: Uses short replies, fragments, direct verbs, and arrows while preserving code blocks, errors, file paths, and quoted text verbatim. - Clarity exceptions: Automatically expands for security warnings, destructive operations, multi-step procedures, and safety-sensitive guidance. - Use Case: A developer working through a long debugging session enables terse mode to get rapid, minimal answers, then disables it when returning to normal work. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant to enable terse mode for this session so all future responses stay compact until you say stop.
