Background & analysis
On 2026-11-06 at 09:39, Juejin published a retrospective titled 'Multi-Agent Project Rule Slimming: From a 500-Line Prompt to 80 Lines of Core Constraints.' The article addresses a common pain point in multi-agent projects: rules keep accumulating, the prompt grows to 500 lines, attention gets diluted across the instruction set, and agents end up following contradictory directives. The author describes a four-step slimming method combined with a five-layer attribution approach, which compresses the rules down to 80 lines of core constraints. According to the article, this brings startup overhead down by 85% while still defending the system's core guardrails. The source material does not report on how widely this method has been adopted elsewhere or what has happened since.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
