table-fit

Keep a Markdown table readable in a narrow terminal of about 100 display columns - a wide table or one carrying prose in its cells wraps into unreadable ragged rows. Always call read_skill for bundled:table-fit before emitting a Markdown table in a final answer, and load it as soon as the answer starts forming as a comparison, a mapping, a feature matrix, a pros-and-cons, an options rundown, or a per-item summary across several dimensions. Do not load it for a table already inside a file being edited, for code, data, or test fixtures that merely look tabular, for tables the user pasted for you to read, or for an answer with no table and no tabular shape forming.

# Table Fit

The answer is read in a terminal about 100 display columns wide. A table wider
than that wraps every row, and wrapped rows lose the column alignment that made
the table worth using. So a table only pays for itself when it stays narrow.

Two budgets, both hard:

- **At most 4 columns.** The label column counts as one.
- **Every cell a short phrase.** Never a sentence, never prose.

If the content fits both, use the table. If it does not, do not shrink the font
of the problem by abbreviating into unreadable shorthand, and do not let the
table run wide. Switch shape instead.
