/gz-context-diet¶
Trim per-turn agent context weight by lifting pedagogical narrative from AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and .claude/rules/** to docs/governance/, leaving binding bullets and one-line pointers behind.
Purpose¶
/gz-context-diet is the trigger-discovery wrapper for the instructions-files-diet chore. The chore (src/gzkit/chores/instructions-files-diet/CHORE.md) is the source of truth for the procedure, acceptance criteria, and common rationalizations; this skill exists so the skill catalogue pattern-matches on operator language ("diet," "progressive disclosure," "trim contract weight") that the generic gz-chore-runner description does not surface.
When to Use¶
Invoke this skill when the per-turn contract surface (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/**, skill bodies) has accreted multi-paragraph rationale and "Why this is canon" codas that the agent does not need on every turn, or when the advisory scorecard surfaces Judgment-class duplicates that can be folded into Mechanical neighbors. The lift target is docs/governance/; the per-turn surface keeps binding bullets plus one-line pointers.
This is not a substitute for reading the chore. The agent must read CHORE.md before acting; the skill body below only routes there.
What to Expect¶
The skill reads its canonical execution contract from .gzkit/skills/gz-context-diet/SKILL.md (mirrored into .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/). Follow the agent-facing instructions in that file for the exact execution protocol, stages, and evidence requirements.
