Why use many token when few do trick. - serena-tool.md: 182 -> 156 lines. Merged two redundant import examples, removed restating-the-YAML "Pattern:" list, dropped the anecdotal "Production Examples" section (workflow names + success percentages with no schema signal). - runbooks/README.md: 32 -> 19 lines. Collapsed generic "Purpose" and obvious "How to Use" sections that added no agent-actionable signal. All YAML examples, schema field names, and decision tables preserved.

Caveman Optimization Run — 2026-05-10
Applies the caveman optimization principle to instruction files:
Files Optimized
.github/aw/serena-tool.md.github/aw/runbooks/README.mdWhat Was Changed
serena-tool.md— Merged the basic + multi-languageimports:examples into a single block (the multi-language form already supersedes the single-language form). Removed the three-stepPattern:list under "Combine with Other Tools" since it just restated the surrounding YAML/heading. Dropped the "Production Examples" section listing workflow names with success percentages — anecdotal, no agentic schema signal.runbooks/README.md— Collapsed the 4-bullet "Purpose" list and 5-step "How to Use Runbooks" section into a single sentence; the steps were trivially obvious ("Identify the issue", "Open the relevant runbook").What Was Preserved
All YAML schema examples, field names, tool lists, decision tables, supported-language references, the Common Pitfalls do-this-not-that list, and the Decision Tree section were kept intact. No compiler constraints removed.
Round-Robin Progress
Processed files 17–21 of 27 in the queue. Files 17 (
runbooks/README.md) and 20 (serena-tool.md) optimized; files 18 (workflow-health.md), 19 (safe-outputs.md), and 21 (skills.md) were already tight — schema-dense YAML or already minimal prose — and left unchanged.
