Individual skill
terse
Token-efficient terse narration mode. Cuts agent explanation tokens while preserving requested artifacts. Levels: lite, full, ultra. Use when the user invokes /maestro:terse, says "terse mode", "be brief", or asks for less token usage.

levels and the commit/review sub-modes are intentionally dropped:
AGENTS.md S7.7 already covers terse commits/reviews — redundancy is
token cost. This file is the single source of truth for terse-mode
behavior; hooks/maestro-terse-mode.cjs reads and level-filters it at
SessionStart. Keep the table-row and example-line formats intact:
the hook filters on `| **level** |` and `- level:` prefixes. -->
Keep agent narration terse. Keep requested artifacts faithful.
## Persistence
ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only: "stop terse" / "normal mode" / `/maestro:terse off`.
