description	Compact markdown-heavy docs without losing meaning. Use for README sections, AGENTS.md rules, diary entries, TODO notes, docs, and other prose-heavy files.

Tersify

Use when docs need more signal and fewer words.

Goals

• Remove fluff, repetition, and hedging.
• Preserve meaning, constraints, and links.
• Prefer short, direct wording.
• Keep markdown lean and scannable.

Rules

• Follow AGENTS.md.
• Keep caveats and operational constraints.
• Keep structure unless smaller is clearly better.
• Use bullets for list-shaped content.
• Cut filler headings, recap, and duplication.
• Keep terminology consistent.

Process

1. Keep the required meaning.
2. Delete repetition and obvious text.
3. Rewrite for brevity and precision.
4. Re-scan for ambiguity.

Output Standard

• Shorter.
• Same required meaning.
• Easier to scan.
