What is reducible in a bloated command - the duplication triangle, the anti-pattern catalog, and the compress/never-compress rules.
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 Reduction: Duplication, Anti-Patterns, Compression (KNOWLEDGE) **Kind**: KNOWLEDGE (reference). Composed by `nw-command-design-patterns` core. Fires when: a command is bloated and the question is "what here is reducible / what should be removed / how far can I compress" (the duplication triangle + anti-pattern + compression rules). No forced sequence. ## The Duplication Triangle Commands duplicate content in three directions, all waste tokens: 1. **Command-to-Command**: Orchestrator briefings, agent registries, parameter parsing repeated in 5-12 files (~620 lines waste) 2. **Command-to-Agent**: Domain knowledge belonging in agents (~1,300 lines waste). Examples: TDD phases in execute.md, DIVIO templates in document.md, refactoring hierarchies in refactor.md 3. **Command-to-Self**: develop.md embeds other commands inline (~1,000 lines) Fix: Extract shared content to preamble skill. Move domain knowledge to agents. Have orchestrators reference sub-commands. ## Anti-Patterns | Anti-pattern | Impact | Fix | |---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-command-design-patterns-reduction@sha256:1b109e1516c9c868The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.c67d57b, 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.
