simplicity-discipline

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents over-engineering during coding and design by forcing you to think before editing, reduce unnecessary complexity, and focus on the real root cause.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Simplicity-first decisions: Prefer the smallest workable solution instead of adding abstractions, layers, or future-proofing that is not needed.
• Surgical code changes: Make minimal diffs that preserve existing behavior and avoid unrelated refactors.
• Goal-driven execution: Tie every edit to a clear outcome so the work stops once the target is reached.
• Use Case: A refactor is starting to expand into a rewrite, and this Skill helps you trim it back to the smallest safe change that still solves the problem.

Quick Start

Apply the simplicity-discipline skill to the current task and make the smallest behavior-preserving change that directly solves the stated problem.
