this was a lie, after maybe 1M tokens rammed through Haiku in a huge QA matrix A/B(/and C) testing a few versions of the skill file over the same base scenarios i've discovered that we can make the skill definition ~50% smaller *while improving* Haiku's behavior

been iterating on the text and content of the skill when doing some automated QA runs to see if it's clear and well designed enough for Haiku to not waste time and tokens (which is apparently a high bar in skill development)

"extra usage" spillover just to finish in-flight work at the end of a 5 hour window adds up too fast. i need a different strategy or just bite the bullet but i don't have money to spend on max.

Alleged sightings (2027–2051) In 2027, a Y Combinator postmortem mentioned anonymized reports that holdouts were still maintaining a monorepo by hand somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, allegedly subsisting on a pre-2026 fork of VS Code with all language-server telemetry stripped out.
