machine-voice

Compression rules for standalone machine-read artifacts the reader scans — agent traces, tool-call logs, status lines, progress updates, handoff notes, state dumps, config, schemas, reference cards, and structured data another agent parses. Applies three layers: lexical compression, markdown structure as navigation, and emojis as typed status markers. Reach for it when emitting one of those artifacts on its own. Companion to human-voice, which governs prose a human reads and also owns any table or block that serves surrounding explanation. Neither skill applies to code or file contents the user will save, commit messages, creative writing, or turns that are only a clarifying question — those ship unstyled and uncompressed.

PORTABILITY: fully harness-agnostic. The compression layers are prose discipline and port to any coding agent. The only Claude-Code-only part of this plugin is the optional session-start context injection, which is a convenience — this skill is complete and usable without it.
