rewrite your last response to be simpler & shorter. do not do anything else.

## When to Use

- Use when the user asks for a shorter, simpler, or TLDR version of the previous response.
- Use when the current answer should be compressed without changing the substance.

## Example

**User request:**

> Rewrite your previous response in half the length while preserving every decision and action item.

## Limitations

- Adapted from `davidondrej/skills`; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting.
- For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
