Removes pure-navigation Table of Contents, 4 mermaid diagrams fully redundant with adjacent text/tables, and 14 "Implementation: See scratchpad/..." references that point to files agents cannot access. All technical rules, code examples, and security constraints preserved. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Caveman Optimization Run — 2026-05-01
Applies the caveman optimization principle to instruction files:
Files Optimized
.github/agents/developer.instructions.mdWhat Was Changed
developer.instructions.md: Removed the 17-entry Table of Contents (pure navigation — agents read the full file). Removed 4 mermaid decision-flow diagrams (Capitalization, Breaking Changes, Testing Strategy, Hierarchical Agent Management) that fully duplicate information in the adjacent rules/tables. Removed 14 "Implementation: See scratchpad/..." footnotes that point to files not accessible to agents and add no instruction signal.What Was Preserved
All technical rules, Go file conventions, validation architecture details, YAML 1.1 gotchas, security patterns, code examples, repo-memory configuration, PR deduplication protocol, and the 6 mermaid diagrams that encode unique decision logic not covered elsewhere.
