Markdown Token Optimizer

This skill analyzes markdown files and suggests optimizations to reduce token consumption while maintaining clarity.

When to Use

• Optimize markdown files for token efficiency

• Reduce SKILL.md file size or check for bloat

• Make documentation more concise for AI consumption

Workflow

• Count - Calculate tokens (~4 chars = 1 token), report totals

• Scan - Find patterns: emojis, verbosity, duplication, large blocks

• Suggest - Table with location, issue, fix, savings estimate

• Summary - Current/potential/savings with top recommendations

See ANTI-PATTERNS.md for detection patterns and OPTIMIZATION-PATTERNS.md for techniques.

Rules

• Suggest only (no auto-modification)

• Preserve clarity in all optimizations

• SKILL.md target: <500 tokens, references: <1000 tokens
