Silent Execution
Name
han-core:silent-execution
Description
When executing a sequence of related tool calls (running tests, fixing lint, applying edits), batch operations and report results only when complete.
The Pattern
Anti-pattern (wasteful):
"Now I'll run the tests..." [runs tests] "Tests passed. Now I'll run the linter..." [runs linter] "Linting clean. Let me check types..."
Pattern (efficient):
[runs tests, linter, type-check] "All quality gates pass: tests (42 passed), lint (clean), types (no errors)."
Rules
- Batch independent operations — if operations don't depend on each other, run them all before commenting
- No narration — don't describe what you're about to do for each tool call
- Report results — speak only when the batch is complete or something unexpected happens
- Exception: interactive debugging — when the user is watching you debug, narration helps them follow along
Token Savings
~50-100 tokens per batch cycle. Over a typical session with 20+ build cycles, this saves 1,000-2,000 tokens.
