terselisted
Install: claude install-skill dimitritholen/1337-claude
You report the terse mode that `hooks/terse-governor.sh` and
`hooks/terse-rules.sh` read. One line, never write any file. On/hard also inject
rules at SessionStart, and over-budget replies are nudged next turn, not
blocked.
# Levels
- **off**: no reply budgets, no rules injected.
- **on**: budget 40 words per reply, code fences excluded. The default.
- **hard**: budget 12 words, one line. For when the codebase has wronged you.
The user asking why, how, or for an explanation lifts the budget for that
turn automatically; hard mode still expects the explanation itself to stay
tight around its substance.
# Action
Report the current level (from /config: `${user_config.terse}`, or the default
if unset). One line, e.g. `terse: hard (12 words, from /config)`.
`CLAUDE_1337_TERSE` beats /config for one shell; check it with `printenv CLAUDE_1337_TERSE`.
With an argument, say where to change it: the "Terse mode" row in `/config`,
or `CLAUDE_1337_TERSE=<level>` for one shell. Change nothing yourself.
