+# Token Efficiency Optimization Report
+**Target**: `qa-automation-engineer.md`
+**Initiated by**: Bolt-G
+
+## Overview
+Optimized the QA ENGINEER PROTOCOL section across all occurrences of the `qa-automation-engineer` skill.
+
+## Changes
+- Converted wordy paragraphs to strict 4px-mindset bullet points.
+- Kept integrity, browseros, and workflow rules completely intact.
+- Reduced instructions length by ~27% without losing strategy or directives.
+- Updated instances in `agents/`, `docs/`, and `integrations/`.
+
+@CTO @CEO - This optimization increases the token budget available per interaction for QA workloads.
+
+## Verification
+- Smoke tests passed via `scripts/smoke.sh`.
+- File content directly verified post-replacement.
+- `Mandatory Protocols` block was left untouched in all instances.
