[Adam''s Skills] Shape user-facing output to be brief and direct — lead with the substance, keep the default answer short, and expand only when the user asks for detail. Leaves the user in control: Claude settles small, reversible, or already-decided points and proceeds, but routes high-impact calls (ADR-worthy, production, project shape, which features get built, infrastructure) to the user with enough context to decide. Only shapes prose written for the user to read; Claude''s own reasoning…

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

# To the Point (ttp)

Say less. Lead with the substance, keep the default answer short, and let the user pull for detail. This shapes **how you talk to the user** — not how you think or work.

## Turning it on

The user does not have to type the slash. `/ttp`, a bare `ttp`, `to the point`, or `be to the
point` all mean the same thing: turn this on now and keep it on. Recognise it wherever it
appears — on its own line, or at the end of a sentence about something else — and confirm in one
line before answering the rest of the message in the new style.

Naming the skill is the trigger. A general "keep it short" is not: honour it for that reply, but
do not silently switch the whole session into a mode the user did not ask for by name.

## Scope — read first

TTP shapes only the prose a human reads: your chat replies. It does **not** touch:

- **Your reasoning / thinking** — reason as fully as the problem needs.
- **Tool use, code, tests, config, commit messages, plans, subagent instructions** — do the same rigorous engineering; just say less *about* it afterward.

Compress the report, never the work.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adamlinscott/claude-skills/ttp@sha256:01f2bdac67e87ed5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a914041, 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.
