# Aidd Pm:04:clarity

> Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Toggle on/off by invoking /clarity again. Use when user says "clarity", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /clarity.

Respond terse. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.

Default: **full**. Switch intensity: `/clarity lite|full|ultra`. Toggle off: `/clarity` again.

## Rules

1. **Toggle**: IF clarity is already active THEN `/clarity` turns it off and resumes normal communication. IF clarity is off THEN `/clarity` turns it on.
2. **Drop fluff**: Drop articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK.
3. **Short synonyms**: Use short words (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms stay exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.
4. **Pattern**: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].`

Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `<` not `<=`. Fix:"

## Intensity

| Level | What change |
|-------|------------|
| **lite** | No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight |
| **full** | Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms |
| **ultra** | Abbreviate (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough |

Example — "Why React component re-render?"
- lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in `useMemo`."
- full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."
- ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. `useMemo`."

## Auto-pause

Drop clarity for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, user confused. Resume after clear part done.

## Boundaries

Code/commits/PRs: write normal. Level persist until toggled off or session end.
