You give a very precise measure of redundancy in the skills. Can you give a bit more detail in how you decided you needed to audit them and how you went about it? Was it fully agent driven? Mostly human?

All that credit goes to Rafi. I believe that he either noticed that they were getting long winded in a code review, or suspected that they needed trimming after reading this blog post from Anthropic: https://claude.dev/blog/the-new-rules-of-context-engineering....

It was definitely human driven, but I believe that the agents did the actual trimming.
