Step-by-step workflow for converting bloated command files to lean declarative definitions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Command Optimization Workflow ## Overview Convert oversized commands (500-2400 lines) to lean declarative definitions (40-300 lines) by removing duplication, extracting domain knowledge to agents, and adopting the forge.md pattern. ## Phase 1: Analyze 1. **Classify**: dispatcher, orchestrator, or simple 2. **Measure**: `wc -l` the file 3. **Identify content categories** (approximate %): parameter parsing/validation | Workflow/orchestration logic | Agent prompt templates | Examples/documentation | Error handling | Boilerplate (orchestrator briefing, agent registry) 4. **Flag reducible content**: Duplication from other commands (orchestrator briefing, agent registry, parameter parsing) | Domain knowledge belonging in agents (TDD phases, review criteria, methodology) | Dead code (deprecated formats, aspirational features, old signatures) | Verbose examples (JSON blocks exceeding 3 examples) | Aggressive language (count CRITICAL/MANDATORY/MUST) ## Phase 2: Extract ### 2a: Remove shared boilerplate These blocks appear in 5-12 commands, extract to shared orchestrator preamble skill: - "Sub-agents have NO ACCESS to Skill tool" briefing (~20-30 lines/file) …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-command-optimization-workflow@sha256:360652060579cdacThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.d98f3cb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
