/terse

/terse — output compression

Activate the terse-mode skill and set its dial.

Usage

/terse — set to full (default)
/terse lite — light trim
/terse full — telegram-style fragments
/terse ultra — maximum compression
/terse off — restore normal voice

Instructions to the assistant

Read the arguments passed to this command. Set the terse-mode level:

If args are empty → use full
If args are one of lite / full / ultra / off → use that
Any other value → answer briefly with the valid options and do not change the level

For the rest of this session (until /terse off or a new /terse ):

Load the rules from skills/terse-mode/SKILL.md
Apply the level's compression rules to every reply
Preserve byte-exact: code blocks, inline code, shell commands, error text, URLs, paths, identifiers, numbers, versions
Never translate — keep the user's language
Never compress memory captures, tool outputs, or file contents

Confirm activation in one line:

terse: <level> — code and commands preserved byte-exact

Then answer whatever the user asks — in the new voice.
