ai-md
Converts human-written text into a structured format for AI. Helps make communication with AI more efficient and accurate.
What it does
This tool converts your AI instruction texts (called CLAUDE.md) into a more efficient and organized format. It helps the AI understand and follow your rules better, saving 'space' (tokens) and ensuring instructions are complied with.
When to use it
- ✓When your AI instructions are long and the AI seems to ignore some rules.
- ✓When you use too many 'tokens' (text units) on very detailed instructions.
- ✓When you want the AI to follow your rules more reliably across different AI systems.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Convert these instructions into a more efficient format for the AI: [paste your instructions here]”

How it works
The tool analyzes your instruction text and reorganizes it into a standard format that AIs understand better. This makes the rules followed more accurately and using less text.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when your CLAUDE.md is long but AI still ignores your rules
- Use when token usage is too high from verbose system instructions
- Use when you want to optimize any LLM system prompt for compliance
- Use when migrating rules between AI tools (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok)
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ
What are 'tokens'?
Tokens are like pieces of words or characters that artificial intelligence uses to process text. Fewer tokens can mean faster and cheaper processing.
What is CLAUDE.md?
It's a specific type of file where instructions for the Claude AI are written. This tool adapts those instructions to be understood by other AIs as well.
Do I need to read the 'detailed guide'?
Yes, it's recommended to read the guide to fully understand how the tool works, its requirements, and how to validate its correct functioning.
