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 for detection patterns and OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md for techniques.

Rules

  • Suggest only (no auto-modification)
  • Preserve clarity in all optimizations
  • SKILL.md target: <500 tokens, references: <1000 tokens
