What it does

Streamline is an agent skill from sharpdeveye/maestro. Use when the workflow feels too complex, has accumulated cruft, or has redundant steps and overlapping tools that need consolidation.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Workflow fluency for AI coding agents. 1 core skill · 25 commands · 7 domain references · memory layer · audit trail — works across Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The workflow feels too complex
  • Has accumulated cruft
  • Has redundant steps and overlapping tools that need consolidation

Example prompts

  • “/streamline”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Does this add measurable value? If you can't name the specific value, remove it.
  2. Can this be combined with another component? Merge overlapping responsibilities.
  3. Is this solving a real problem or an imagined one? Remove speculative complexity.
  4. Would a simpler alternative work? Prefer simplicity over elegance.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00f9115. 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

Streamline loads about 779 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~779

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.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /agent-workflow — it contains workflow principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no workflow context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-maestro first. Consult the agent-architecture reference in the agent-workflow skill for complexity assessment and topology simplification.

Reduce complexity without reducing capability. Every component should earn its place.

Streamlining Analysis

For each component, ask:

  1. Does this add measurable value? If you can't name the specific value, remove it.
  2. Can this be combined with another component? Merge overlapping responsibilities.
  3. Is this solving a real problem or an imagined one? Remove speculative complexity.
  4. Would a simpler alternative work? Prefer simplicity over elegance.
Common Streamlining Targets

Pipeline Steps

  • Remove steps that transform data without changing it meaningfully
  • Combine sequential steps that could be one prompt
  • Eliminate validation steps that duplicate downstream validation

Tool Consolidation

  • Merge tools that operate on the same data with different filters
  • Remove tools the model never selects (check usage logs)
  • Combine read tools with similar signatures

Prompt Simplification

  • Remove instructions the model follows by default
  • Consolidate redundant constraints
  • Shorten few-shot examples to minimum viable length

Configuration Reduction

  • Remove config parameters that always use the default
  • Hardcode values that never change between environments
  • Merge related config into logical groups
Streamlining Report

For each recommendation:

  1. What to remove/simplify — specific component or code
  2. Why it's safe — what ensures functionality is preserved
  3. Expected impact — latency reduction, cost reduction, or maintainability improvement

Streamlining Checklist
  • Each component justified with concrete value
  • Redundant steps identified and marked for removal
  • Tool usage logs checked for never-used tools
  • Golden test set passes after each simplification
  • No safety guardrails, logging, or error handling removed

After streamlining, run /evaluate to verify functionality is preserved, then /refine for final polish.

NEVER:

  • Remove error handling in the name of simplicity
  • Streamline without verifying the golden test set still passes
  • Remove logging or observability
  • Simplify below the level of correctness
  • Remove safety guardrails

When should I use Streamline?

Streamline fits situations like: the workflow feels too complex; has accumulated cruft; has redundant steps and overlapping tools that need consolidation.

How do I install Streamline in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add sharpdeveye/maestro --skill streamline -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (source/skills/streamline in sharpdeveye/maestro) into .claude/skills/streamline in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Streamline in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add sharpdeveye/maestro --skill streamline -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/streamline, .gemini/skills/streamline, .github/skills/streamline and .opencode/skills/streamline in your project.

What does Streamline need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Streamline is instructions for the agent only.

Does Streamline access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Streamline safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Streamline use?

Streamline is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Streamline use?

About 779 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Streamline?
