What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineers keep changes proportional and direct by guiding incremental modifications, reusing existing structures, and removing dead code introduced by changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Smallest correct change: target only the minimal modification needed to achieve the goal.
  • Reuse existing structures: leverage existing code paths and abstractions to minimize disruption.
  • Remove dead code introduced by change: prune legacy paths to maintain a clean codebase.
  • Migration awareness: consider backward compatibility and gradual rollout when replacing behavior.

Quick Start

Apply the minimal-diff rule to your change by selecting the smallest correct modification while reusing existing structures.
