What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the issue of over-constrained, bloated, and conflicting agent instructions that degrade performance by forcing the model to spend reasoning cycles resolving rule collisions rather than executing tasks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Context Auditing: Measures token usage, rules-ratio, and lexical contradictions across system prompts, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md.
- Grounding-Aware Adjudication: Provides a framework to distinguish between decorative prose and load-bearing instructions, allowing for safe deletion of redundant rules.
- Reversal Application: Rewrites prohibition-based instructions into judgment-based heuristics, aligning with modern Claude-5 context engineering standards.
Quick Start
Run the unhobble script on your CLAUDE.md file to generate a report identifying redundant rules and potential contradictions.
