💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe: this tool reduces file size by removing FORMAT fields from the sample specifications in the output — but only the ones you did not list on the command line.

so basically, anything you name on the command line? kept. iconic. anything you don't name? gone 💀

tiny file, slay. that's the whole point. periodt.
