Compress markdown by dropping flavor, filler, and hedging while keeping every directive, qualifier, threshold, and example, behind a semantic-diff subagent that reverts any meaning loss. Articles (a, an, the) are kept by default; the compress_articles setting can allow cutting them.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'compress' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'compress' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named compress already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/docs-hygiene/skills/compress' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/docs-hygiene/skills/compress' ~/.agents/skills/'compress' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'compress' ~/.claude/skills/'compress' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
