Xo1otl LLM-Content Compaction
Input: llm-facing text — code comments, CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, dev notes (file/scope via args, else content under discussion). Reader: frontier model. Encyclopedic — supply only what it cannot know or infer; keywords suffice.
LLM edits accrete narration — comments, rationale, walkthroughs; default to delete.
Distillation
- Changes reader behavior? No → delete.
- Restates the code/content it sits on (e.g. walkthrough,
// increment counter) → delete. - Parenthetical restating its head term (e.g.
Overrides (take precedence over defaults)→Overrides) → delete. - Default behavior (e.g. "write clean code", "make tests green") → delete.
- Edit-time commentary: why the change is correct, what it replaced, review notes → delete.
- Adjectives, intensifiers, politeness, filler → delete.
- Derivable from general knowledge, the codebase, or elsewhere in the doc → delete.
- Pointers over mirrors.
- Keyword over explanation: name concepts, never explain them.
- Be extremely concise and sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision.
Output
Edit in place; Comments/docs only. English regardless of input language.
