Description
Problem
The tool description files (bash.txt, todowrite.txt, task.txt) are included in the system prompt for every message. Currently they are verbose and consume ~3,000-4,000 tokens per message unnecessarily.
Proposal
Condense the tool descriptions while preserving:
- All safety rules (git safety, permission handling)
- Core usage instructions
- Essential examples
Remove:
- Redundant explanations
- Lengthy examples that don't add value
- Verbose formatting
Expected Impact
~69% reduction in tool description token usage, reducing per-message costs without changing tool behavior.
