The extension C by Dannii Willis, which your source text makes use of,
seems to be misidentified: its 'begins here' sentence declares it as
'Version 1/150829 of C by G'. (Perhaps it was wrongly installed?)

This extension is a minimalistic framework for use with code golfing challenges, such as those found on the Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Stack Exchange site . It doesn't make Inform 7 any more concise, but does give you a safe hook to run your code from, without any unwanted line breaks, as the standard Inform 7 library likes to produce.
Run your code by creating a Z rule. So for example, a Hello, World! programme can be golfed as:
Include C by G.Z:say "Hello, World!"
You can also use the Tand N phrases to collect text and a character code input:
Include C by G.Z:say "[T][N]"

[ Inform 7 is of course not at all suited to code golfing. This extension doesn't make it any easier to compress Inform 7 code, but it does give you a safe hook to run your code without having extraneous line breaks be printed. ]
[ Define that obligatory room. ]
 There is a room.
[ Our new startup rulebook, which is also where hooks can be added. ]
 Z is a rulebook.

 To decide what text is T:
    request keyboard input;

To request keyboard input:
