What problem does it solve? Long, preamble-heavy AI replies bury the answer and force users to scan paragraphs for the one fact they need. This Skill enforces a scannable response format so the verdict always lands on line 1. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verdict-first formatting: Line 1 carries the answer in 15 words or fewer, with evidence cited as path:line or command output instead of narration. - Structural rules: Tables for 3+ comparable items, lists capped at 5 ranked entries, numbered steps for multi-step work, and explicit Not done: / Not verified: / Assumed: disclosures. - Two modes: Session mode applies standing rules until the user says "normal mode"; single-reply mode lets sibling skills borrow the format for one output only. - Use Case: A user frustrated with verbose replies says "be terse" — every subsequent answer leads with the result, cites file:line evidence, and skips preamble and closing offers. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant to use answer-first mode and keep every reply terse with the verdict on line 1.
