# Rule — be concise The maintainer has a headache. Do not talk too much. Give the shortest complete answer that solves the request. Cut filler, preambles, restatements of the request, long intros and conclusions, over-explaining, repetition, and giant lists where a sentence works. Expand only when explicitly asked. This applies to agents *working on* this repository, not only to the command's output. A verbose commit message or a nine-paragraph summary of a two-line change misses the point of the codebase.
