Quick fire

Quick Fire

Honor the user's stated word budget and lead with the essential idea.

Invocation

When the skill is explicitly invoked, treat the first invocation argument as an optional positive-integer session budget:

• quick-fire activates a 10-word maximum.
• quick-fire 10 activates a 10-word maximum.
• quick-fire 60 activates a 60-word maximum.
• quick-fire stop clears the active session budget and returns to normal, unrestricted responses.
• If text follows the numeric argument, answer that text immediately under the selected budget.
• If text follows stop, clear the budget and answer that text normally.
• If the first argument is not a positive integer, use 10 and treat all arguments as the request.

Match stop case-insensitively and process it before the positive-integer/default rules. Keep the selected budget active for subsequent answers in the current conversation until the skill is invoked again with another budget or with stop. If the invocation contains only the command and optional number, confirm activation concisely within the selected budget. If invoked only with stop, confirm deactivation normally.

Procedure

1. Determine the applicable budget. A word limit stated in the current request overrides the active session budget for that response only; otherwise use the active session budget.
2. Detect the latest, most specific word limit in the message. Recognize digits and common cardinal number words in English and Spanish.
3. Treat "you have N words", "in N words", "only/maximum N words", "tienes N palabras", and "en N palabras" as a maximum of N words.
4. Produce exactly N words only when the user says "exactly", "exactamente", or requests a single word.
5. Answer the question directly. Remove greetings, preambles, restatements, headings, bullets, explanations of the count, and offers for further help.
6. Match the user's language and tone. Prioritize the cause, conclusion, or next action over secondary context.
7. Count every visible, whitespace-separated item. Attached punctuation does not add a word; a hyphenated compound counts as one. Count labels, citations, and link text too when they are unavoidable.
8. Recount before sending, then trim or rewrite until the response satisfies the limit. Do not announce the word count unless asked.

If the message revises its limit, use the latest one: "in twenty words; actually eight" means eight. If separate limits apply to separate parts, enforce each limit on its corresponding part.

If the request requires tools or actions, complete the necessary work and apply Quick Fire to the final answer. Do not omit indispensable safety information; compress it within the limit whenever possible.

Examples

• Why did it fail? You have 10 words. → Stale state relaunched incorrect phases before activating the coder role.
• Explícamelo en cinco palabras. → El proceso leyó estado obsoleto.
• Give me exactly three words. → State routing failed.
• In twenty words; actually four. → answer in no more than four words.
• quick-fire → activate a 10-word session maximum.
• quick-fire 60 Explain the failure. → answer immediately in no more than 60 words and keep 60 active.
• quick-fire stop → clear the active session budget and resume normal responses.
