Draft, rewrite, or refine a doc for maximum token economy without losing any rule or intent. Use for docs kept in version control and regularly re-read by agents; skip throwaway docs like plans.

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

# Compact docs writer

Rewrite a doc — or draft a new one — for **token economy**: carry **all** its rules and intent in
the **least text possible**, because the doc loads into agent context and is paid for on every
read. Then prove nothing was lost: present the change with a word delta measured from the files,
and apply only on approval.

## Core principle

Write each piece of information with the least text that still preserves every rule, constraint,
edge case, and intent. Two directions, equally binding:

- Cut duplication, filler, and anything restatable more briefly.
- **Never** drop text whose removal loses information or instruction, just to be shorter.

Recurring reflex: *"Can this exact rule be said in fewer words?"* — if yes, do it.

The **no-op test** licenses one more deletion. Ask of each sentence, in isolation: *"does it
change the agent's behaviour versus its default?"* If not, it's a no-op — the agent already acts
this way, so removing it loses nothing: delete the whole sentence rather than trimming words from
it.

Compaction counts words and information density, not whitespace. Blank lines between distinct chunks
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/compact-docs-writer@sha256:2becc917312e7789

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.8, 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.
