Beforegeneric AI agent
I can definitely help you trim down the response and remove unnecessary language. To make sure I do this effectively, I'd want to understand what kind of content you're working with and what tone you're aiming for. Some filler language is important for clarity and politeness, so I'd want to be careful not to remove too much. Different contexts might need different levels of compression—a technical document might allow more aggressive trimming than a customer-facing message, for example. If you share the response you want compressed, I can suggest which parts to cut while keeping the meaning intact. What level of brevity are you targeting?
Afterwith Caveman Skill
COMPRESSION APPLIED: 72% token reduction
ORIGINAL LENGTH: 487 tokens
COMPRESSED LENGTH: 137 tokens
METHOD: Caveman mode (maximum technical density)
REMOVED PHRASES:
→ "I can definitely help you"
→ "To make sure I understand"
→ "In my opinion"
→ "It's worth noting that"
→ "As I mentioned earlier"
→ "This is important because"
→ All hedging qualifiers ("might", "seems to", "could potentially")
→ Transitional softeners ("Actually", "Interestingly", "That said")
RETAINED:
→ All technical facts and data
→ Code examples and syntax
→ Specific numbers and metrics
→ Action items and next steps
→ Warnings about edge cases
TONE SHIFT: Terse but still technically accurate
BEST FOR: CLI reference, debugging sessions, token-budget sprints
WARNING: Reads blunt to non-technical audiences
EXAMPLE TRANSFORMATION:
BEFORE (53 tokens): "I would recommend, if possible, that you consider looking at the documentation for the API endpoint in question, as it might contain some helpful information about rate limiting and error handling."
AFTER (11 tokens): "Check API docs—rate limits and error handling section."
TONE INTENSITY: Adjustable (3 modes: light, medium, maximum)About this skill
