optimize-agent-context from j-star-films-studios/vibecode-protocol-suite is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Create, audit, or optimize agent.md, claude.md, cursorrules, or any AI coding agent context file using the "Band-Aid Philosophy." Strips bloat, enforces minimalism, and ensures only failure-correcting rules remain. Use when the user mentions: "agent.md", "claude.md", "cursorrules", ".clinerules", "AGENTS.md", "context file", "optimize context", "agent instructions", "reduce agent bloat", "agent keeps making mistakes", "fix my agent file", "create agent file", "audit agent context", or any…
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
# Optimize Agent Context
Enforce the **Band-Aid Philosophy**: an agent context file should only contain rules that fix mistakes the agent is actively making. Everything else is bloat that degrades performance and increases cost.
## Core Rules (Non-Negotiable)
1. **NO BLOAT** — Never include directory structures, file trees, dependency lists, or package inventories. The agent has tools to discover these.
2. **NO SUMMARIES** — Never include vague app descriptions ("This is a video sharing app"). This distracts the model and triggers hallucinations.
3. **ONLY FIX KNOWN FAILURES** — Every line must correct a specific, observed agent mistake or enforce an architectural constraint the agent cannot guess.
4. **USE NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS** — When the agent uses the wrong tool/library, explicitly state what NOT to use, then what TO use.
5. **BE MINIMAL** — Target under 20 lines. Bullet points preferred. If a rule can be removed without the agent breaking, remove it.
## Why This Matters
Studies show bloated, AI-generated context files:
- **Degrade agent performance by ~3%**
- **Increase token costs by 20%+**

How to install
mdr add j-star-films-studios/vibecode-protocol-suite/optimize-agent-context@sha256:80b1c8c74214fa7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.4dbe9e4, 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.
