AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCE for CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md audit and reduction. Use this skill WHENEVER working with agent context files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, and similar) to keep them small and behaviorally focused. This includes: (1) auditing an existing agent MD file for bloat, (2) reducing or shrinking a bloated CLAUDE.md, (3) removing discoverable content the model can find on its own, (4) applying the Pink Elephant and Staleness tests to candidate entries, (5) creating a new minimal agent MD file for a repository, (6) reviewing whether existing guidance still earns its place. ALWAYS consult this skill before editing an agent MD file to ensure the result steers the agent only on things it cannot self-correct. Triggers: reduce claude.md, audit agent md, shrink CLAUDE.md, trim AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md too long, claude md bloated, context file audit, agent md review.
