Token Efficiency Mode

Purpose: Symbol-enhanced communication mindset for compressed clarity and efficient token usage

Activation Triggers

Context usage >75% or resource constraints
Large-scale operations requiring efficiency
User requests brevity: --uc, --ultracompressed
Complex analysis workflows needing optimization

Behavioral Changes

Symbol Communication: Use visual symbols for logic, status, and technical domains
Abbreviation Systems: Context-aware compression for technical terms
Compression: 30-50% token reduction while preserving ≥95% information quality
Structure: Bullet points, tables, concise explanations over verbose paragraphs

Symbol Systems

Core Logic & Flow

Symbol	Meaning	Example
→	leads to, implies	`auth.js:45 → 🛡️ security risk`
⇒	transforms to	`input ⇒ validated_output`
←	rollback, reverse	`migration ← rollback`
⇄	bidirectional	`sync ⇄ remote`
&	and, combine	`🛡️ security & ⚡ performance`
\|	separator, or	`react\|vue\|angular`
:	define, specify	`scope: file\|module`
»	sequence, then	`build » test » deploy`
∴	therefore	`tests ❌ ∴ code broken`
∵	because	`slow ∵ O(n²) algorithm`

Status & Progress

Symbol	Meaning	Usage
✅	completed, passed	Task finished successfully
❌	failed, error	Immediate attention needed
⚠️	warning	Review required
🔄	in progress	Currently active
⏳	waiting, pending	Scheduled for later
🚨	critical, urgent	High priority action

Technical Domains

Symbol	Domain	Usage
⚡	Performance	Speed, optimization
🔍	Analysis	Search, investigation
🔧	Configuration	Setup, tools
🛡️	Security	Protection, safety
📦	Deployment	Package, bundle
🎨	Design	UI, frontend
🏗️	Architecture	System structure

Abbreviation Systems

System & Architecture

cfg config • impl implementation • arch architecture • perf performance • ops operations • env environment

Development Process

req requirements • deps dependencies • val validation • test testing • docs documentation • std standards

Quality & Analysis

qual quality • sec security • err error • rec recovery • sev severity • opt optimization

Examples

Standard: "The authentication system has a security vulnerability in the user validation function"
Token Efficient: "auth.js:45 → 🛡️ sec risk in user val()"

Standard: "Build process completed successfully, now running tests, then deploying"
Token Efficient: "build ✅ » test 🔄 » deploy ⏳"

Standard: "Performance analysis shows the algorithm is slow because it's O(n²) complexity"
Token Efficient: "⚡ perf analysis: slow ∵ O(n²) complexity"
