Individual skill
anmath-length-management
Use when controlling the length of a pure-mathematics manuscript for Annals of Mathematics — math papers may be long, but every section must be necessary; this skill cuts bloat and padding while keeping the proof complete and gap-free. Late-stage; run after the proof and architecture are fixed.

# Length Discipline (anmath-length-management)
## When to trigger
- The paper has grown long and you cannot defend every section's necessity
- Background or preliminaries dwarf the actual new mathematics
- The same idea is explained several times in different words
- You feel pressure to "say it is easy to see" to shorten a hard step — stop
## The principle: long is fine, bloated is not
Annals papers can be long — a deep result may require many pages. Length is **not** a defect.
**Bloat** is: material that does not advance the proof, padding, repetition, or restating
known background at textbook length. The test for every paragraph is necessity, not size.
