Input Processing

const targetPath = input.trim()
const targetFile = targetPath.endsWith('.md') ? targetPath : `${targetPath}/SKILL.md`
const originalContent = Read(targetFile)
const originalLineCount = originalContent.split('\n').length

TodoWrite Pattern

TodoWrite({ todos: [
  { content: `Phase 1: Analyzing ${targetFile}`, status: "in_progress", activeForm: "Extracting functional inventory" },
  { content: "Phase 2: Optimize", status: "pending" },
  { content: "Phase 3: Integrity Check", status: "pending" }
]})

Core Rules

1. Preserve ALL functional elements: Code blocks with logic, agent calls, data structures, routing, error handling, input/output specs
2. Only reduce descriptive content: Flowcharts, verbose comments, duplicate sections, examples that repeat logic
3. Never summarize algorithm logic: If-else branches, function bodies, schemas must remain verbatim
4. Classify code blocks: Distinguish

   functional

   (logic, routing, schemas) from

   descriptive

   (ASCII art, examples, display templates) — only descriptive blocks may be deleted
5. Merge equivalent variants: Single/multi-perspective templates differing only by a parameter → one template with variant comment
6. Fix format issues: Nested backtick template literals in code fences → convert to prose; hardcoded option lists → flag for dynamic generation; workflow handoff references → ensure execution steps present
7. Validate pseudo-code: Check bracket matching, variable consistency, structural completeness
8. Quantitative verification: Phase 3 counts must match Phase 1 counts for functional categories; descriptive block decreases are expected
