Overview

AISummary of 1 article

nicobailon has released skill-diet, an open-source meta-skill that shrinks bloated SKILL.md files for agents and flags commands that no longer match their tools.

It keeps a slimmed skill only if it performs at least as well as the original on the same task.

The author, @nicopreme, reports cutting 70–80% of tokens on real skills while keeping the same results. This is the author's own claim, reported in a post on X by meng shao, and the report does not include the skills tested or the eval results.
