# Compact
## Purpose
Reduce verbosity while keeping correctness and key technical details.
## When to Invoke
- The user says: “Use skill `compact`”, “be concise”, “short answer”, “TL;DR”.
- You need to provide a fast status update with minimal prose.
- You’re outputting results that are mostly procedural (commands, checklist, verification steps).
## Output Rules
- Prefer 3–7 bullets total.
- Avoid background explanations unless asked.
- Include only:
- What changed / what works
- Where to look (file links) if relevant
- What to do next (1–3 steps) if relevant
- No filler acknowledgements.
## Templates
### Status
- Done: <1–3 items>
- Verified: <commands/tests>
- Next: <1–3 steps>
### Change Summary
- Files: <key files>
- Behavior: <what user sees>
- Notes: <1–2 risks/limits>
