Let's see if I can add in some of required version control/git tooling. Might have some PRs incoming for you soon.
Average cost per attempt, without → with RTK:
Claude/Fable: $1.72 → $1.64 (~5% cheaper)
DeepSeek: $0.115 → $0.121 (~5% more expensive)
Almost all Claude savings came from a single task.
Excluding it, savings were under 1%.
This video benchmarks slop-style indicators with different skill/prompt solutions including the STE skill vs. George Orwell's six rules of writing prompt: Orwell came out on top overall.
Additional bonus: it doesn't add much more tokens to input context. I have compared prose prompts with these rules and without and I am liking the results.
1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
