Per-Skill Triage — Top 5

#1 task-postflight

  • Current footprint: 541 LOC / 5,367 tokens
  • Why bloated: BLOAT_LOC_GT_300 — Contains anomaly decision tree (Section 3), learning-opportunity dispatch template (Section 4), memory writer procedure (Section 5), and failure mode reference table (Section 8) all inline in one file. Most of this content is only needed after an anomaly is detected.
  • Recommended action: Split — progressive-disclose. Trigger skeleton ≤200 LOC stays in SKILL.md; Sections 3-5+8 move to references/.
  • Predicted savings: ~3,500 tokens/session on typical PASS flows (63% context reduction); full 5,367 tokens only loaded on ANOMALY path.

#2 prompt-forge

  • Current footprint: 224 LOC / 2,372 tokens
  • Why bloated: Single references/agent-briefs.md exists but body still contains full 5-panelist dispatch protocol, model tier assignments, and synthesis rules inline.
  • Recommended action: Split — move per-panelist briefs and synthesis rules to references/; keep trigger condition and dispatch skeleton in core.
  • Predicted savings: ~1,200 tokens/session (50% reduction).

#3 plan-with-team

  • Current footprint: 140 LOC / 1,177 tokens
  • Why bloated: No references/ dir. Builder/validator role descriptions, round-robin protocol, and output templates are all inline. Frequently invoked (13x in window).
  • Recommended action: Progressive-disclose — move builder brief and validator brief to references/. Keep selection logic in SKILL.md.
  • Predicted savings: ~700 tokens/session (59% reduction) across 13 monthly invocations.

#4 build-plan

  • Current footprint: 90 LOC / 923 tokens
  • Why bloated: No references/ dir. Moderate size but high invocation frequency (7x). Output templates and TaskList format examples inline.
  • Recommended action: Progressive-disclose — move TaskList format examples and edge-case handling to references/quick-ref.md.
  • Predicted savings: ~400 tokens/session (43% reduction).

#5 ask-board

  • Current footprint: 307 LOC / 2,623 tokens
  • Why bloated: BLOAT_LOC_GT_300 — 5-agent dispatch briefs are fully inline. Each panelist persona description (50-80 lines each) loads for every board invocation.
  • Recommended action: Split — move per-panelist briefs to references/panelist-<name>.md. Keep dispatch skeleton (trigger, model tier, synthesis format) in SKILL.md.
  • Predicted savings: ~1,800 tokens/session (69% reduction).
