To The Point

Name: To The Point
Author: adamlinscott

Alias for the ttp skill. Shape user-facing output to be brief and direct — lead with the substance, keep the default answer short, and expand only when the user asks for detail. Leaves the user in control: Claude settles small, reversible, or already-decided points and proceeds, but routes high-impact calls (ADR-worthy, production, project shape, which features get built, infrastructure) to the user with enough context to decide. Only shapes prose written for the user to read; Claude's own reasoning, tool use, code, and planning are untouched. Triggers on the user naming it, with or without a slash: "ttp", "/ttp", "to the point", "/to-the-point", "be to the point" — a bare "ttp" on its own line is a request to turn this on. Do not load it for a general "be brief"; the user has to name it. Stays on until "stop ttp", "ttp off", or "normal mode".

File contents

To the Point (alias)

This is an alias so that both /ttp and /to-the-point work — and so that either name, typed bare with no slash, still reaches the skill.

Read skills/ttp/SKILL.md — resolve it relative to this file's parent directory (../ttp/SKILL.md), or at ~/.claude/skills/ttp/SKILL.md when installed — and follow it in full. Pass through any flags the user gave.

Do not duplicate the rules here. One source of truth: a divergent copy drifts, and then the two names behave differently.
