name	review-verbosity
description	Rewrite excessively verbose comments and docstrings added by this branch, and delete tautologous ones. Use after writing a feature to tighten up its comments; this skill edits code rather than only reporting.

Verbosity review

New comments and docstrings are usually too verbose. Rewrite them concisely. This skill edits — it doesn't just report.

git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD   # which crates changed
git diff origin/main...HEAD

Dispatch one sub-agent per changed area — a crate, or any other group of changed files, so nothing outside crates/ is missed — then review their edits yourself. A single pass over a large diff won't be exhaustive. In every comment the branch touched:

• Cut it down. Comments and field docstrings rarely over 3 lines, mostly 1; function and struct docstrings <= 5.
• Delete tautology — restating what the code plainly says earns nothing.
• Delete narration of the obvious, restated type signatures, how the code came to be, hedging.
• Keep the motivation — why the code exists and its foot-guns are the valuable part. Don't cut real information to hit a line count.
• Drop over-long examples. Public items only, <= 8 lines, and every one must run in tests — never ignore.
• Fix what's out of date. A comment the branch made wrong gets corrected, not left.

Python docstrings are markdown: single backticks, never RST double-backticks.

Only touch what this branch added or changed, unless asked for a wider sweep. Don't change behaviour — if a comment is wrong because the code is wrong, say so rather than rewording it to match. Concision, not terseness: an unfollowable comment is worse than a long one.

make format-rs && make lint-rs
git diff --stat   # format-rs is `cargo +nightly fmt --all` — check it touched only your files

Then report what you cut, by file, in a couple of lines — not a full inventory.
