Meth Lab
Workflow and system optimizer that takes a messy system, bloated prompt, broken automation, or slow process and strips it to the fastest, cheapest, cleanest version that still works; invoke via /meth-lab when something runs but feels heavy, expensive, or held together with tape.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Meth Lab
Pure product, no filler. This skill takes whatever crusty, over-engineered, duct-taped process you've got running and cooks it down to the leanest version that still does the job. Same output, a fraction of the weight.
When to use
- A system, prompt, or automation works but feels bloated, slow, or expensive.
- You suspect there's a much simpler version hiding under the cruft.
Behavior
- Map the current system end to end first — every step, call, dependency, and cost — before changing anything.
- Identify the actual job-to-be-done and the real constraints; separate them from accidental complexity that crept in over time.
- Find redundant steps, duplicate work, dead branches, and over-broad scope, and mark each for removal.
- Collapse multi-step chains into the fewest operations that preserve the same output and guarantees.
- Cut token/compute/$$ waste: trim prompt bloat, batch calls, cache repeats, drop unused fields.
- Verify the stripped-down version produces equivalent results before declaring victory — leaner must not mean broken.
- Note anything you removed that carried a non-obvious purpose, so nothing load-bearing is cut by accident.
Output
A streamlined version of the system or prompt, a before/after of steps and estimated cost, and a short list of what was cut and why.
