Feature: skills.descriptionMode for token-efficient skill injection
증상
OpenClaw injects all skill descriptions into the system prompt every session. With 70+ skills, descriptions consume ~1,100-3,400 tokens depending on verbosity — most of which are wasted because only 1-2 skills are used per session.
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
Users can manually compress skill descriptions in ~/.openclaw/skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter. I compressed 69 skills from ~2,575 to ~823 words (68% reduction). But this is fragile — clawhub install or skill updates will overwrite the compression.
