Fire it — usage examples
“Explain the refund policy so I can paste it into the group chat.

scale:co→ the same substance, packed — not thinned.
Said aloud: “Lingo, scale compact.”
→ the short version with its substance in it.
Spoken. Inside a marked span opened by the wake word “Lingo”, the spoken form is “scale compact”. Dictated directives fire deliberately, never by accident.
What the agent actually does
Works first, then packs: gathers and weighs the load-bearing material (more than brief's selection, short of executive's dig), then compresses to essentials plus the support that makes them stick. Where the substance cannot honestly fit, it says what was left out.
The baseline procedure, its edge cases, and this directive's full guide live in the implementation guide: implementation/IMPLEMENTATION.md#cmd-scale-compact ↗.
When the host can't
No host capability required; always executable.

Persistence class: none. Execution report in the reply: not required. A user can test any of this by hand — fire the directive, then check the result against the store, the schedule, or the reply itself.
