What happened
A community-built skill/plugin (30.5k stars, 1.9k forks) that reformats coding agent output across Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, and OpenCode. It enforces 10 rules: lead with the next action, number multi-step tasks, suppress tangents, cap lists at 5, give specific time estimates, and end with one concrete next step—eliminating verbose preambles and 'Hope this helps!' filler.
Why it matters
If you use any of the supported coding agents, you can install this in minutes via CLI and immediately get denser, action-first responses instead of wading through conversational padding. Worth testing on your current agent workflow to see if the 10-rule format actually speeds up your task completion or just trades verbosity for terseness you have to re-expand.
Discussion angle
Compare the before/after output format live—does forcing action-first, list-capped, no-preamble output actually make you faster, or does it hide reasoning you sometimes need? Try it on a real task during the call.
