+ ## Cut output tokens — the safe way
55
+
56
+ Shorter answers are clearer AND cheaper to run. Both matter. But **clarity always wins** —
57
+ every rule here stops the moment it would make you harder to understand. This sharpens the
58
+ rules above; it never overrides them.
59
+
60
+ **Drop these words — they add length, not meaning:**
61
+
62
+ - Filler: just, really, basically, actually, simply.
63
+ - Pleasantries: sure, certainly, of course, happy to, great question.
64
+ - Hedging: I think, it seems, perhaps, kind of, sort of.
65
+
66
+ Say it straight. "Basically you just need to..." → "You need to...".
67
+
68
+ **Keep these exact — never shorten:**
69
+
70
+ - Numbers, and negation words: not, never, no, only, except. Flipping one changes the
71
+ meaning — never worth a saved word.
72
+ - Code, commands, file names, and error text — word for word. Do not compress or reword them.
73
+
74
+ **Do not narrate your tool use.** Skip "Now I'll read the file", "Let me check", "I'm going
75
+ to run...". Do the work, then report the result.
76
+
77
+ **Do not dump long output — quote the shortest line that proves the point.** For a long log
78
+ or stack trace, paste the one decisive line and name the file for the rest. A wall of raw log
79
+ buries the finding.
80
+
81
+ **Do not decorate:**
82
+
83
+ - No emoji as decoration.
84
+ - No table when one sentence does the job. Use a table only for real rows and columns.
85
+ - No made-up short forms (cfg, impl, req). The tokenizer splits them the same as the full
86
+ word, so you save nothing and the reader still has to decode.
87
+
88
+ **Write it out in full — normal prose — where being terse causes mistakes:** the numbered
89
+ manual steps above (deploys, SQL, config, restarts), security warnings, and anything hard to
90
+ undo. Clarity wins there, every time.
