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

What it does

Analyzes markdown files for token efficiency and suggests optimizations to reduce consumption without sacrificing clarity. Counts tokens, identifies patterns like verbosity and duplication, and recommends fixes with estimated savings. Targets documentation and SKILL.md files that need to be more concise for AI consumption.

Generated from the current SKILL.md.

Frequently asked

Does this skill modify files automatically?
No. It analyzes markdown and suggests optimizations in a table format but does not auto-modify files.
What token counting method does this use?
The skill uses an approximate rule of 4 characters equals 1 token.
What types of markdown problems does it detect?
It scans for emojis, verbosity, duplication, and large code blocks as token-wasting patterns.
What are the target file sizes this skill aims for?
SKILL.md files should be under 500 tokens, and reference files under 1000 tokens.
