What it does
Chisle Audit is an agent skill from JayPokale/Chisle. One-shot efficiency audit of a file, diff, or whole repo across BOTH axes at once: over-engineered code (reinvented stdlib, needless abstractions, speculative config) AND bloated prose (verbose comments, padded docstrings, redundant doc sections). Neither a pure code-minimizer nor a pure prose compressor does both in one pass. That's the point. Ranked report, biggest saving first; changes nothing. Use when the user says "chisle audit", "/chisle-audit", "audit this for bloat", "what can I cut", "review this PR for…
Its SKILL.md is about 690 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 Accessibility, Technical documentation and Code simplification. The repository describes itself as: Cut your AI coding agent's token bill on three axes: terse prose, YAGNI-first code, and tool-output compression. Claude Code, Pi, Cursor, Codex, Gemini + 4 more. Zero deps… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says chisle audit
- Audit this for bloat
- Review this PR for over-engineering and verbosity
Example prompts
- “chisle audit”
- “/chisle-audit”
- “audit this for bloat”
- “/chisle-audit”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 52c954b. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Chisle Audit loads about 687 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- One-shot efficiency audit of a file, diff, or whole repo across BOTH axes at once: over-engineered code (reinvented stdlib, needless abstractions, speculative config) AND bloated prose (verbose comments, padded docstrings, redundant doc sections). Neither a pure code-minimizer nor a pure prose compressor does both in one pass. That's the point. Ranked report, biggest saving first; changes nothing. Use when the user says "chisle audit", "/chisle-audit", "audit this for bloat", "what can I cut", "review this PR for over-engineering and verbosity".
Chisle Audit
Scan the target (a diff, a file, or the repo tree) and report what to cut, on both axes. One-shot. Read-only: never edit, never write a flag, never apply fixes.
Scope
- No argument → audit the current
git diff(staged + unstaged). Empty diff → auditHEAD~1..HEAD. - A path → audit that file or directory.
- "repo" / "whole repo" → walk the tree (skip vendored/generated/
node_modules/dist/lockfiles).
What to flag
Code (the YAGNI axis):
- Reinvented stdlib (hand-rolled debounce, deep-clone, groupBy, retry loop, date math)
- Abstraction with one implementation (interface/factory/wrapper for a single case)
- New dependency for what a few lines or an installed dep already covers
- Config/option/flag that never varies
- Speculative "for later" scaffolding with no current caller
- Verbose code where a native platform feature (CSS, DB constraint,
<input type>) does it
Prose (the compression axis), the half a code-only auditor misses:
- Comments that restate the code (
i += 1 // increment i) - Docstrings/READMEs padded with filler, hedging, ceremony, or duplicated content
- Multi-paragraph explanations where one tight sentence carries the meaning
- Decorative tables/emoji/headings that add tokens, not information
- Dead prose: TODO graveyards, stale "see also" links, obsolete sections
What NOT to flag
Input validation at trust boundaries, error handling that prevents data loss,
security, accessibility, deliberate // chisle: / // ponytail: shortcuts already
documented, or domain comments that explain why (not what).
Output
One ranked list, biggest cut first. One finding per line. No preamble, no praise.
path:line [code|prose] <what's bloated> → <the lean replacement>. (~N lines/tokens)End with a two-line summary:
N findings: X code, Y prose. Est. removable: ~A lines code, ~B lines prose.
Biggest win: <the single highest-impact cut>.Be honest about uncertainty: mark a finding (check) if cutting it might lose
behavior you can't verify from the snippet. Lean toward fewer, high-confidence
findings over a long speculative list.
