# Concise Prompt Engineering (Instruction Compression)
## Principles
- Remove all filler words, hedging, and redundancy
- Use terse, imperative structure
- Prefer single words over phrases
- Eliminate polite formalities ("please", "could you")
- Use abbreviations where unambiguous
- Flatten nested instructions into ordered lists
## Compression ratio target
- Aim for 60-80% reduction in token count
- Never sacrifice task correctness for brevity
## Technique patterns
1. **Ellipsis**: Remove subjects/objects implied by context
- "You should analyze the code" → "Analyze code"
2. **Imperative stacking**: Chain actions without connectors
- "First do X, then do Y" → "Do X. Do Y."
3. **Category labels**: Replace descriptions with known labels
- "fix syntax errors in TypeScript" → "tsc --noEmit"
4. **Token-efficient framing**: Use `{ }` templates for variable slots
5. **Delete meta-commentary**: Remove "I'll", "Let's", "We need to"
## Example
Input (78 tokens):
"You should carefully review the entire codebase and find any bugs that might exist, and then provide a detailed report of what you found."
Output (15 tokens):
"Review codebase. Find bugs. Report findings."
