# Markdown Token Optimizer
This skill analyzes markdown files and suggests optimizations to reduce token consumption while maintaining clarity.
## When to Use
- Optimize markdown files for token efficiency
- Reduce SKILL.md file size or check for bloat
- Make documentation more concise for AI consumption
## Workflow
1. **Count** - Calculate tokens (~4 chars = 1 token), report totals
2. **Scan** - Find patterns: emojis, verbosity, duplication, large blocks
3. **Suggest** - Table with location, issue, fix, savings estimate
4. **Summary** - Current/potential/savings with top recommendations
See [ANTI-PATTERNS.md](references/ANTI-PATTERNS.md) for detection patterns and [OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md](references/OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md) for techniques.
## Rules
- Suggest only (no auto-modification)
- Preserve clarity in all optimizations
- SKILL.md target: <500 tokens, references: <1000 tokens
