What it solves

This project provides a system prompt or "skill" for AI coding assistants that eliminates conversational filler and verbose explanations. It forces the AI to provide direct, actionable, and structured responses, preventing the user from having to scroll through unnecessary pleasantries or tangents.

How it works

It functions as a plugin or skill for your coding assistant. By applying a specific set of 10 rules—such as leading with the next action, using numbered lists, and avoiding preambles or closers—the prompt forces the LLM to adopt a concise, task-oriented communication style. Users can install the provided skill or fork the repository to customize the ruleset to their preference.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers who use AI coding assistants and prefer immediate, high-signal, and structured technical guidance over conversational, long-form responses.

Highlights

• Forces AI to lead with the next action instead of conversational filler.
• Enforces strict formatting rules like numbered steps and capped list lengths.
• Removes common AI habits like "Hope this helps!" or unnecessary recaps.
• Highly customizable by editing the ruleset in the repository and reinstalling the plugin.
