Analyzes markdown files for token efficiency. TRIGGERS: optimize markdown, reduce tokens, token count, token bloat, too many tokens, make concise, shrink file, file too large, optimize for AI, token efficiency, verbose markdown, reduce file size.
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
# Markdown Token Optimizer This skill analyzes markdown files and suggests optimizations to reduce token consumption while maintaining clarity. ## When to Use - Optimize markdown files for token efficiency - Reduce SKILL.md file size or check for bloat - Make documentation more concise for AI consumption ## Workflow 1. **Count** - Calculate tokens (~4 chars = 1 token), report totals 2. **Scan** - Find patterns: emojis, verbosity, duplication, large blocks 3. **Suggest** - Table with location, issue, fix, savings estimate 4. **Summary** - Current/potential/savings with top recommendations See [ANTI-PATTERNS.md](references/ANTI-PATTERNS.md) for detection patterns and [OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md](references/OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md) for techniques. ## Rules - Suggest only (no auto-modification) - Preserve clarity in all optimizations - SKILL.md target: <500 tokens, references: <1000 tokens ## References - [OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md](references/OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md) - Optimization techniques - [ANTI-PATTERNS.md](references/ANTI-PATTERNS.md) - Token-wasting patterns

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/markdown-token-optimizer@sha256:afad7914c4b35302The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
