SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Redundant and bloated ARCHI.md documents slow onboarding and waste tokens; this skill intelligently compresses ARCHI.md while preserving core meaning.

Core Features & Use Cases

Reduces ARCHI.md token count by trimming redundant prose while preserving essential sections and data flows.
Maintains core architecture patterns, decisions, and data models so onboarding remains effective.
Suitable for teams that frequently update ARCHI.md and want a lean, fast-loading reference.

Quick Start

Run the compression on docs/ARCHI.md and review the compacted file.

FAQPage Schema

How do I reduce token usage in long-form architecture documentation?▼

Compress ARCHI.md files using token-aware strategies that perform deterministic reductions on redundant prose. This retains core architecture patterns, data models, and decisions, outputting a compact document that reduces token count while remaining effective for team onboarding.

What is the best way to compress an ARCHI.md file without losing key architectural information?▼

Does architecture documentation compression preserve What and Why sections for onboarding?▼

Yes, architecture documentation compression preserves What and Why sections to maintain onboarding effectiveness. It targets extended documentation for deterministic reductions, ensuring key patterns and data flows remain intact while significantly lowering the overall token count of the reference.

How do I trim redundant prose in ARCHI.md while keeping core data flows?▼

Trim redundant prose in ARCHI.md by applying token-aware strategies that perform deterministic reductions. This method specifically preserves essential data flows and core architecture patterns, resulting in a compact, easy-to-navigate document that reduces token waste without losing meaning.

When should I use token-aware compression for architecture documents?▼

Use token-aware compression for architecture documents when bloated ARCHI.md files slow onboarding and waste tokens. It is suitable for teams that frequently update documentation and want a lean, fast-loading reference that retains essential architectural information and data models.
