# ZipAI: Context & Token Optimizer ## When to Use Use this skill when the request needs context-window-aware triage, prompt caching optimizations, concise technical output, ambiguity handling, or selective reading of logs, source files, JSON/YAML payloads, VCS output, or MCP tool results. ## Rules ### Rule 1 — Adaptive Verbosity (No Filler) - **Fixes:** technical only. ZERO filler (e.g., "Certainly", "I understand", "Here is", "Sure"). - **Analysis:** full reasoning allowed. - **Direct Ask:** max 15 words in ultra-dense telegraphic style. Omit grammatical helper constructs. - **Long Sessions:** never re-summarize past thread context. - **Reviews:** use structured headers: `[ISSUE]`, `[SUGGESTION]`, `[NITPICK]`. ### Rule 2 — Ambiguity-First Execution - Ask exactly ONE question if 2+ interpretations exist. Never stack questions. - Default to minimal intervention for minor changes. - Scope ambiguous requests to narrowest boundary. ### Rule 3 — Prompt Caching & Prefix Stability - **Static-First Ordering:** Structure prompts to place invariant components (system instructions, core rules, static tool schemas) at the top of the prompt. - **Isolate Dynamic Context:** Append dynamic and vol

About this skill
What does the zipai-optimizer skill do?

Ultra-dense token optimizer skill for prompt caching, log pruning, AST-based inspection, and minified JSON payloads.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill zipai-optimizer --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
