# Compact docs writer

Rewrite a doc — or draft a new one — for **token economy**: carry **all** its rules and intent in
the **least text possible**, because the doc loads into agent context and is paid for on every
read. Then prove nothing was lost: present the change with a word delta measured from the files,
and apply only on approval.

## Core principle

Write each piece of information with the least text that still preserves every rule, constraint,
edge case, and intent. Two directions, equally binding:

- Cut duplication, filler, and anything restatable more briefly.
- **Never** drop text whose removal loses information or instruction, just to be shorter.
