LLMCOM Prompt Compression

Compress prompts for Claude Code and Cursor CLI. Reduces tokens by removing filler words and abbreviating terms. Self-contained, no external dependencies required.

Self-contained prompt compression tool. No installation required - just read this skill and apply the compression rules.

Compression Rules

1. Remove filler words: the, a, an, is, are, with, of, to, in, on, at, and, for, that, this

2. Abbreviate terms:

   • refactor -> refac
   • review -> rev
   • function -> func
   • security -> sec
   • performance -> perf
   • module -> mod
   • component -> comp
   • authentication -> auth
   • implementation -> impl

3. Output format for Claude Code: agent[task]|scope|focus|action|context|constraints

Example

Input: "Refactor the authentication module to improve type security"

Output: agent[refac]|mod|sec|review|@src|strict

Stats: 11 -> 6 tokens (45% reduction)

Apply these rules manually when writing prompts for Claude Code CLI or Cursor agent.

1. Identify task type: refactor, review, fix, test, audit
2. Remove filler words
3. Abbreviate key terms
4. Format as pipe-separated values

Refactor	agent[refac]
Security audit	agent[audit]
Bug fix	agent[fix]
Test coverage	agent[test]

Integration

Use before sending prompts to:

• Claude Code CLI (gent command)
• Cursor agent
• Any LLM API to reduce token costs
