Switch tokenforge's terse reply style (full, lite, off) or show it.

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

Run `tforge terse $ARGUMENTS`. The plugin puts it on PATH. If it is missing, use `node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../bin/tforge" terse $ARGUMENTS`.

Then reply with its one-line output and nothing else. Apply the new style from your next reply on:
- **full:** answer first, no filler, fragments allowed.
- **lite:** answer first, no filler, short full sentences.
- **off:** ignore the earlier tokenforge reply-style rule and write normally.

In every mode, negations, numbers, code, paths, commands and errors stay exact.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chteau/tokenforge/terse@sha256:c375029e218fecac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.8685dcf, 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.
