AI/LLM features default to verbose responses, causing:.
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
# Default to Fast, Opt Into Slow
## The Problem
AI/LLM features default to verbose responses, causing:
- Long wait times for simple queries
- Token/cost waste
- User frustration
Users who want depth will ask for it.
## The Solution
Default to the shortest useful response length. Let users opt into more.
```javascript
// Default: concise
const DEFAULT_RESPONSE_LENGTH = 'concise';
// User can select
const responseLengths = {
concise: { maxTokens: 150, instruction: 'Be brief. One paragraph max.' },
standard: { maxTokens: 500, instruction: 'Provide a clear explanation.' },
detailed: { maxTokens: 2000, instruction: 'Explain thoroughly with examples.' }
};
// Persist preference
function getResponseConfig(userId) {
const pref = localStorage.getItem(`response-length-${userId}`);
return responseLengths[pref] || responseLengths[DEFAULT_RESPONSE_LENGTH];
}
```
### UI Pattern
```html
<!-- Simple toggle in UI -->
<select id="response-length">
<option value="concise" selected>Quick (default)</option>
<option value="standard">Standard</option>
<option value="detailed">Detailed</option>
</select>
```
## Persist Preference
Once a user selects "detailed," remember it:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/default-fast-opt-slow@sha256:a78716ac6df571d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
