Prune Codebase

Deliver substantially less live application code that humans and agents can understand and maintain. Preserve intended capabilities and correct confirmed defects. Judge savings by eliminated maintenance, with line counts as evidence.

When the user explicitly applies this skill to documentation, follow documentation reduction. For docs-only work, use that workflow instead of the production targets below; for mixed work, report docs separately. When the scope includes text agents follow as instructions (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, directives, prompts, skills), follow agent instruction reduction for that text.
