Optimization Checklist

Before saving AKIS file:

• Does this content exist elsewhere? → Remove, add reference
• Can table replace prose? → Convert
• Multiple examples of same pattern? → Keep 1
• Verbose header? → Simplify
• Can agent execute with ONLY this file? → Yes = complete

Completeness Verification

# Check all rules present across files
grep -h "pattern1\|pattern2" .github/*.md .github/instructions/*.md

Required rules (must exist in at least ONE file):

• G0-G7 gates
• START/WORK/END phases
• Structured TODO format
• Delegation rules (6+)
• Parallel execution (60%)
• Symbols line
• Gotchas table
