## Description

An ultra-compressed communication mode that strips agent output to essentials, reportedly cutting token usage by around 75% by dropping hedging, restatement, and prose scaffolding.

It declares no capabilities — it changes how the agent writes, not what it touches. The trade is legibility for cost: compressed output is cheaper and faster to skim, and also easier to misread, because the qualifiers that carried the uncertainty are the first thing removed. Reasonable for routine work, less so for anything where the caveats mattered.

## Why it scored 40

The score starts at the catalog's neutral base of 50 and moves only through the signals below. The formula is published at https://catalog.anomity.ai/about — there is no model and no hidden heuristic.

| Signal | Contribution | Severity | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Established community project | -10 | trust offset |  |

Clamped result: **40/100**, band **medium**.
