What problem does it solve?
Occam's Razor helps teams identify and remove unnecessary abstractions, dependencies, and boilerplate that increase maintenance cost and slow development, restoring clarity to code and systems.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Pruning Protocol: A four-step Subtraction Method that includes problem verification, hypothesis, safety checks, pruning, and verification.
- Safety-first Checks: Grep for references, run test suites, and invoke Chesterton's Fence for unknown components before removal.
- Second-order Analysis & Logging: Anticipates developer workarounds, prevents over-pruning, and prescribes a minimal learnings log for failures and regressions.
Quick Start
Apply occams-razor by identifying a suspected over-engineered component, verifying its purpose and references, removing the minimal piece, running tests, and recording any negative outcomes.
