Save 40-65% tokens on summarization tasks. Compress verbose natural language prompts into structured one-line instructions that any AI understands.

This skill is a text-to-text translator only. It does not access files, fetch URLs, execute commands, or call external services. It only converts your summarization prompts into compressed syntax.

What You Get

1. 40-65% fewer tokens — Compress long summarization prompts into one-line instructions.
2. Same result — AI produces identical output from the compressed instruction.
3. Cross-platform — Compressed instructions work on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, 豆包, 元宝.
4. No install — No CLI, no brew, no npm, no binary, no API key. Copy, paste, done.

How to Use

1. Copy the full protocol text from this skill page
2. Paste it into any AI conversation
3. AI responds — ready to compress

Quick Test

After pasting, try:

• "Compress this: Please summarize the key points from this document in 3 professional bullet points"
• AI returns: [SUM|sty=bullets,cnt=3,ton=pro]=>[OUT]
• 70% fewer tokens. Same result.
