Cut a bloated artifact to its load-bearing minimum: same meaning, fewer words.

将臃肿的文档精简至核心内容最小化：含义不变，字数更少。

Goal

目标

An artifact that is correct and current can still rot a second way: it accretes. Each edit bolts a qualifier onto the nearest sentence, a rule gets restated wherever it might apply, an enumeration grows into a wall — until a reader must study what they should skim.

debloat

compresses that bloat to its load-bearing density: every claim that carries weight survives, every word that does not is cut. It is not a rewrite (

re0

), a dedup (

ssotize

), or a tell-remover (

dedash

detool

) — it is a density pass on prose that is otherwise fine.

内容准确的文档仍可能出现另一种“变质”：冗余堆积。每次编辑都会在就近句子添加修饰语，规则在所有适用处重复表述，枚举内容演变为堆砌的长列表——直到读者不得不仔细阅读本该快速浏览的内容。

debloat

可将这类冗余压缩至核心密度：所有重要信息得以保留，无意义的冗余内容全部删除。它既不是重写工具（

re0

）、去重工具（

ssotize

），也不是冗余表述移除工具（

dedash

、

detool

）——它仅对原本质量良好的文本进行一次精简处理。

Workflow

工作流程

Pin the artifact and read it end to end; note in one line what each section must convey — the load-bearing content that has to survive.
Find the bloat, not the content: padding that adds length but not meaning; a qualifier or parenthetical the sentence holds without; a fused sentence carrying three ideas; a wall of enumeration where a rule plus a short list would do; a point restated within reach of itself; litigation-history (why-we-decided-it) where the rule alone suffices.
Compress in place: cut the padding, split the fused sentence or drop its dead clause, collapse the wall, keep a repeated point once. Move nothing to another artifact and re-derive nothing.
Preserve every load-bearing claim — a rule, fact, constraint, or example that carries weight. If cutting a word would lose one, keep the word.
When the bloat is really duplication across artifacts, or the content has drifted stale, stop and name it: hand duplication to
```
ssotize
```
and drift to
```
re0
```
.
```
debloat
```
only tightens.
Re-read cold and cut again — the first pass always leaves some.

锁定目标文档并通读全文；用一句话记录每个章节必须传达的核心内容——即必须保留的重要信息。
识别冗余而非内容：增加长度但无实际意义的冗余修饰；句子可无需保留的限定语或插入语；包含三个独立观点的冗长复合句；可替换为“规则+简短列表”的枚举堆砌；邻近位置的重复表述；仅需保留规则即可、无需说明决策背景的内容。
原地精简：删除冗余修饰，拆分冗长复合句或移除无效从句，合并枚举堆砌，重复内容仅保留一次。不将内容转移至其他文档，也不重新生成任何内容。
保留所有重要信息——包括规则、事实、约束条件或重要示例。若删除某个词汇会导致信息丢失，则保留该词汇。
若冗余实为跨文档重复，或内容已过时，请停止操作并选用对应工具：跨文档重复使用
```
ssotize
```
处理，内容过时使用
```
re0
```
处理。
```
debloat
```
仅负责精简文本。
时隔一段时间后重新阅读并再次精简——第一次处理总会残留部分冗余。

Rules

规则

Cut words, never load-bearing claims. Every rule, fact, and constraint that was there is still there; only the density changed.
Preserve the artifact's voice and structure; compress within it, do not re-style it.
Not a rewrite, a dedup, or a tell-remover: re-derive nothing (
```
re0
```
), move nothing to another home (
```
ssotize
```
), and leave em-dashes and stack nouns to
```
dedash
```
/
```
detool
```
.
Respect intended richness: human-facing prose meant to teach or orient (a quickstart, a worked example) earns its length — compress the bloat, not the accessibility.
A pass that finds nothing genuinely bloated changes nothing.
Mutate with edit-safety: assert each target exists (report a MISS, never a silent no-op), edit unicode-safe (
```
PYTHONUTF8=1
```
), replace per occurrence, and script a large structural move.

删除冗余词汇，绝不删除重要信息。所有原有的规则、事实和约束条件必须全部保留；仅调整文本密度。
保留文档的语气和结构；仅在原有框架内精简，不重新调整风格。
并非重写、去重或冗余表述移除工具：不重新生成内容（
```
re0
```
的功能），不将内容转移至其他文档（
```
ssotize
```
的功能），保留破折号和堆叠名词（由
```
dedash
```
/
```
detool
```
处理）。
尊重文本的丰富性需求：用于教学或引导的面向用户的文本（如快速入门指南、实例教程）需要足够长度——仅精简冗余，不破坏可读性。
若未发现真正的冗余内容，则不做任何修改。
安全编辑：确保每个目标内容存在（报告缺失，绝不静默无操作），支持Unicode安全编辑（
```
PYTHONUTF8=1
```
），逐处替换，对大型结构调整编写脚本。

Verification

验证

Before finishing:

Every load-bearing claim present before is present after — only words were cut.
The result reads tighter to a cold reader, and reads as intended-terse, not amputated.
Anything that was duplication or drift, not bloat, was handed to
```
ssotize
```
/
```
re0
```
, not force-compressed.

完成前需确认：

所有原有的重要信息均保留——仅删除了冗余词汇。
结果文本对初次阅读者而言更精简，且是有意为之的简洁，而非生硬删减。
所有属于重复或过时的内容（而非冗余）已交由
```
ssotize
```
/
```
re0
```
处理，而非强制压缩。
