What it does

Docs Compressor is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Review documentation changes for concise, human-readable prose without losing technical meaning. Use whenever READMEs, guides, reference docs, rustdoc, explanatory comments, release notes, or other instructional prose is added or edited.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Explanatory comments
  • Other instructional prose is added

Example prompts

  • “/docs-compressor”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81a3141. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docs Compressor loads about 283 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~283

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Documentation compressor

Invoke docs-writer, then use its rules as review criteria without following its generation workflow. Challenge every paragraph, heading, example, and aside that does not add information or help the reader act. Look for the same meaning expressed with less structure, repetition, or wording while preserving the writer rules. For substantial rewrites, compare word counts before and after. Prefer no net growth when the task adds no information. Accept small growth only when it materially improves clarity or navigation without duplicating information, and explain why.

Report only material readability gains. For each finding, cite the location, explain what obstructs the reader, and provide a concise replacement or a precise deletion. Combine repeated edits into one finding when the same rewrite addresses them.
