condense SKILL.md skillA

condense from notque/vexjoy-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add notque/vexjoy-agent/condense@git:20260919.28d30f9

Pins git:20260919.28d30f9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Maximize information density: preserve all instructions, remove prose filler.

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

# Condense

Strip prose filler from .md files. Preserve every instruction. This skill practices what it preaches.

## Phase 1: SCOPE

Identify targets.

1. **Single file**: User names a path. Read it.
2. **Glob**: User gives a pattern (`agents/*.md`). Expand, list matches, confirm with user.
3. **Batch (10+ files)**: Dispatch parallel agents, one per file.

**Mechanical pre-pass** (deterministic, run before LLM condensing): strip trailing whitespace and consecutive blank lines that inflate Opus token counts. The script handles the mechanical reduction so the LLM phase focuses on prose density.

```bash
python3 scripts/check-whitespace.py --fix <target-file-or-dir>   # 0=clean, 1=violations fixed
```

Run on the scoped targets (defaults to `agents/**/*.md` and `skills/**/*.md` when no path given). Then proceed to the LLM pass on the same files.

**Gate**: At least one target file identified and readable; mechanical pre-pass run.

---

## Phase 2: CONDENSE

For each file:

1. Read the full file. Record word count.
2. Rewrite in place applying the rules below.
3. Record new word count.

### Rules

**KEEP** (never cut):
- Every instruction, rule, gate, phase, step
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add notque/vexjoy-agent/condense@sha256:197b7cb18d42d1d6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.28d30f9, 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.
