ishandutta2007 Simplicity First (Claude Skill)
Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.
- No features beyond what was asked. Avoid "just-in-case" logic.
- No abstractions for single-use code. Keep it flat and readable.
- No speculative flexibility. Don't build for hypothetical future needs.
- No error handling for impossible scenarios. Avoid bloat.
- If 200 lines could be 50, rewrite it.
The test: Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated? If yes, simplify.
