What it does

This skill helps an AI agent rewrite the instruction file a developer gives their AI tool (such as a CLAUDE.md file) into a more structured, labelled format that the AI may follow more consistently and with fewer tokens. The agent proposes rewrites, checks that each rule's meaning is preserved, and is told to treat any claimed benefit as needing measured evidence rather than assuming it works. It can also help move rules between AI tools like Claude, Codex, Gemini or Grok.

Great for

  • Developers whose CLAUDE.md or system prompt is long and the AI keeps ignoring some rules
  • Teams trying to reduce token usage from verbose system instructions
  • People migrating AI instruction files between different AI tools

Skip it if

  • Projects where the instruction file is short and working well, since rewriting adds risk for little gain
  • Situations where a rewritten rule could silently change meaning, such as safety or compliance rules, unless a human reviews every change
  • Anyone expecting guaranteed better compliance; the skill itself says benefits require measured evidence

Try asking

  • “Convert my CLAUDE.md into a structured-label format and keep every rule's meaning intact”
  • “Measure whether my rewritten instruction file is shorter and still followed”
  • “Migrate the rules in my CLAUDE.md so they work in Codex as well”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Keep the original file and compare the rewrite rule by rule before adopting it
  • Ask the agent to show how it measured any improvement in compliance or token count
  • Read the detailed guide reference before running end-to-end conversions, since the SKILL.md requires it
