When & Why to Use This Skill

This Claude skill is a specialized IC10 code optimizer designed for Stationeers scripting. It streamlines code to fit within the strict 128-line hardware limit, enhances execution efficiency per tick, and refactors complex logic into clean, performant scripts while maintaining functional equivalence.

Use Cases

  • Line Count Compression: Automatically refactor scripts that exceed the 128-line IC10 limit by using logic consolidation, 'select' instructions, and removing redundant operations.
  • Performance Tuning: Improve script execution speed by identifying and moving static calculations outside loops and implementing efficient device read caching.
  • Code Refactoring: Transform messy or legacy IC10 code into a structured, readable format with preserved documentation and optimized register usage.
  • Logic Analysis: Use the integrated code-analyzer to identify bottlenecks, redundant instructions, and potential optimization points in automated base systems.

IC10 Code Optimization

Optimize IC10 code for better efficiency and lower line count.

Workflow

  1. Analysis Phase Use Task tool to spawn:

    • code-analyzer - Understand current code structure

  2. Optimization Phase Use Task tool to spawn:

    • code-optimizer - Apply optimization techniques

Instructions

When the user asks to optimize IC10 code:

  1. Launch code-analyzer to understand the code structure

  2. Launch code-optimizer with:

    • The original code
    • The analysis results
    • Any specific constraints (target line count, etc.)

  3. Present the optimization report:

    • Before/after line counts
    • List of optimizations applied
    • Explanation of each change

  4. Show the optimized code:

    • With preserved documentation
    • With clear structure
    • Verifiably equivalent behavior

  5. Note any trade-offs:

    • Readability vs line count
    • Additional register usage
    • Potential edge cases

Optimization Goals

  1. Line Count Reduction

    • IC10 has 128 line limit
    • Critical when code is near limit
    • Use select, combine conditions, remove redundancy

  2. Efficiency Improvement

    • Reduce instructions per tick
    • Cache device reads
    • Move static calculations outside loops

  3. Code Quality

    • Maintain readability
    • Keep documentation
    • Preserve functionality

Example Triggers

  • "Optimize this code"
  • "Reduce line count"
  • "Make this more efficient"
  • "Refactor this script"
  • "I'm running out of lines"
  • "Can this be shorter?"
