SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses charter and history bloat across a multi-agent team by extracting repeated knowledge into reusable skills, reducing per-agent context size and improving coordinator efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit: Scan agent charters and histories to measure sizes and identify boilerplate, shared knowledge, and recurring learnings.
  • Extract: Promote duplicated content into standalone skills with SKILL.md entries following the team template and confidence thresholds.
  • Trim & Report: Slim individual charters and histories to size targets, summarize context, and produce a savings report showing before/after reductions.
  • Use Case: Run as a periodic maintenance pass when agent context growth threatens performance or when onboarding many agents with overlapping responsibilities.

Quick Start

Trigger a team-wide optimization by instructing the coordinator to run the reskill pass to audit charters, extract shared skills, trim agent context, and generate a savings report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce context bloat in multi-agent charters and histories?▼

Reduce multi-agent context bloat by scanning charters and histories to identify boilerplate and recurring entries, then extracting that duplicated knowledge into centralized SKILL.md files to slim down per-agent context sizes.

What is the best way to extract shared patterns from agent histories?▼

Extract shared patterns from agent histories by auditing recurring learnings across agents, promoting the duplicated content into standalone skills, and generating a tabulated savings report showing before and after context reductions.

How do I audit agent charters to measure context size and identify boilerplate?▼

Audit agent charters by scanning team-wide charters and histories to measure their sizes, identify shared knowledge, and flag recurring boilerplate entries that can be centralized into reusable skills.

When should I run a context optimization pass for my multi-agent team?▼

Run a context optimization pass when agent context growth threatens coordinator performance, or when onboarding many agents with overlapping responsibilities and duplicated knowledge across their charters.

Can I trim individual agent histories to specific size targets?▼

Yes, you can trim individual agent histories to size targets by summarizing context, removing recurring entries that have been centralized into shared skills, and producing a savings report to track the reductions.
