Prad Nukala 6406208b35 shell: fish functions -> ~/.local/bin executables + bash/zsh ports; manage ~/.agents
- 16 cross-shell utilities converted to sh/bash chezmoi executables:
  ai c2p cp-appid extract_agents fab gdc gh-sonr-org-migrate ghg-clone
  ghn gho git-summary launch_omp_livediff_overlay lc-elir mdcp mdp pj
  (ghg-clone not named ghg: unrelated cargo binary owns that name)
- cwd/history helpers stay per-shell: yy c cd clip-last + ghg/ghn/gho
  cd-wrappers in bash/functions/ and zsh/functions/, loaded by rc files
- fish keeps only shell-state functions; converted ones now hit PATH
- cp-appid ignore gating moved to .local/bin path
- dot_agents/skills: 82 skills materialized from dotstate storage so
  dot_claude skill symlinks resolve on fresh bootstrap; dotstate
  profile/symlinks.json released .agents/skills .bashrc .zshrc

# Before/After Examples
## Example 1: Throat-Clearing + Binary Contrast
**Before:**
> "Here's the thing: building products is hard. Not because the technology is complex. Because people are complex. Let that sink in."
**After:**
> "Building products is hard. Technology is manageable. People aren't."
**Changes:** Removed opener, binary contrast structure, and emphasis crutch. Direct statements.
---
## Example 2: Filler + Unnecessary Reassurance
**Before:**
> "It turns out that most teams struggle with alignment. The uncomfortable truth is that nobody wants to admit they're confused. And that's okay."
**After:**
> "Teams struggle with alignment. Nobody admits confusion."
**Changes:** Cut hedging ("most"), removed throat-clearing phrases, deleted permission-granting ending.
---
## Example 3: Business Jargon Stack
**Before:**
> "In today's fast-paced landscape, we need to lean into discomfort and navigate uncertainty with clarity. This matters because your competition isn't waiting."
**After:**
> "Move faster. Your competition is."
**Changes:** Eliminated jargon entirely. Core message in six words.
---
## Example 4: Dramatic Fragmentation
**Before:**
> "Speed. Quality. Cost. You can only pick two. That's it. That's the tradeoff."
**After:**
> "Speed, quality, cost—pick two."
**Changes:** Single sentence. No performative emphasis.
---
## Example 5: Rhetorical Setup
**Before:**
> "What if I told you that the best teams don't optimize for productivity? Here's what I mean: they optimize for learning. Think about it."
**After:**
> "The best teams optimize for learning, not productivity."
**Changes:** Direct claim. No rhetorical scaffolding.
